For the integer ones, we should always be able to get away with the pattern, even if it sort of big, something like 
max(min(x, y), min(max(x, y), z))

For the fmed3 case, in case we ever care about signaling nans, we would have to be more conservative on the pattern. It would probably be better to try to implement the pattern for the integer ones and leave the FP one.
