Macros accept any comparable type, so you would have to have specific
functions for int, unsigned, double etc.

# find | egrep "\.[ch]$" | xargs grep "typeof"
./coreutils/sleep.c:    ts.tv_sec = MAXINT(typeof(ts.tv_sec))

Typeof() is already used here and there are many other GCCisms all
over the place anyway.
