What's the advantage over abs?

Should this function be inline?

It avoids a corner case where the difference between the two is really large. Partly for this reason, Clang warns when the argument to an abs(3) function is unsigned, even after I tried to get them to stop doing it for differences.

So it's primarily to silence a warning? It's not clear to me when abs
would behave differently.
