Nice find. This looks quite familiar, the weather forecast accumulation code 
in Itinerary does something very much like this, to make std::min/std::max 
work without special-casing invalid values.

However the way it's done here will fail for negative max temperatures, as 
std::numeric_limits<double>::min() is not what one might expect (it's the 
smallest positive value for floating point types), you want 
std::numeric_limits<double>::lowest().
