@laruence there a lot PHP functions that we can implement with few lines, but PHP supports it
natively. This function will help you make this natively and avoid users recreate it.

I don't understand why you need this builtin.
as you can implement very easily buy just 3 lines codes

Description:
------------
Need a PHP function to clamp numbers, natively. Currently it is possible, but will be great if it
supports natively.
function clamp($number, $minValue, $maxValue) {
return max($minValue, min($maxValue, $number));
}
Basically, it will return the $number if is greater than $minValue and lower than $maxValue. If
$number is lower than $minValue, it returns $minValue. If $number is greater than $maxValue, it
returns $maxValue.
clamp(2, 1, 3); // => 2 (in range)
clamp(1, 1, 3); // => 1 (in range, min value)
clamp(3, 1, 3); // => 3 (in range, max value)
clamp(0, 1, 3); // => 1 (out range, using min value)
clamp(4, 1, 3); // => 4 (out range, using max value)
