Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

Math.Clamp is currently documented as returning, in order of precedence:

1. value - where min <= value <= max;
2. min - where value < min; or
3. max - where max < value.

This means it should support degenerate ranges such as Math.Clamp(10, 0, -2) and result in the 2nd case, returning 0.

This is actually not how the method is implemented.
It expressly checks for min <= max and throws an ArgumentException in cases that don't fit this constraint.
