  39    arguments, if the arguments have different types or have unusual
  40    floating-point values.  For example, on a typical host with 32-bit 'int',
  41    64-bit 'long long', and 64-bit IEEE 754 'double' types:
  42
  43      MAX (-1, 2147483648) returns 4294967295.
  44      MAX (9007199254740992.0, 9007199254740993) returns 9007199254740992.0.
  45      MAX (NaN, 0.0) returns 0.0.
  46      MAX (+0.0, -0.0) returns -0.0.
