min max from tuples in list

Yes, I suspect it comes from people expecting too much consistency. If
something that has "conformance" is "conformant", then something that has
good "performance" must be "performant".

In a surprising coincidence, the word "performant" came up in a Daily
MTG article today:

Though it is used in double quotes to indicate that it's not exactly
standard English

Funny to see two nerdy interests meet!
