A beginner mpmath question here: how do I compute a min (or a max) of two
mpf numbers? Is just the regular python min(a,b) the answer? Why does that
work properly, given that mpf's are their own datatypes, and min relies on
standard comparison operators?

Yes, min(a,b) works fine. It works because mpmath classes provide
comparison methods (__ge__, __gt__, etc.) so that the standard
comparison operators (>=, >, etc.) can be used. This is standard for
custom numeric types in Python.
