min() and max() do not support strings

I didn't see an exception listed in the docs, but the min() and max() translations are currently using the JS Math.min() and Math.max() which only support numbers, whereas the Python version also supports string types in the iterable.

// Maximum of n numbers
export function max (nrOrSeq) {
    return arguments.length == 1 ? Math.max (...nrOrSeq) : Math.max (...arguments);       
};

// Minimum of n numbers
export function min (nrOrSeq) {
    return arguments.length == 1 ? Math.min (...nrOrSeq) : Math.min (...arguments);       
};

If used with an iterable containing strings, the translated max/min returns NaN. There are of course workarounds, but this should work the same as CPython or be a documented exception.

Also consider issue #305 for supporting a key function.
