I suspect it's an oversight, because the comment gives no hint that
any such intention was present.  It's been more than three years since
I committed that code (under a different function name) so my memory
is a little fuzzy, but I believe it just didn't occur to me that
MinMaxExpr could include a function call.

I suspect it's safe in practice, but in theory it's probably a bug.
