[postgis-devel] POINT(350, 100) == POINT(-10,80)

Right now, in order to be allowed into the system, a GEOGRAPHY must
have longitude in the range of -180,180 and latitude in the range of
-90,90.

I was just thinking that this restriction is pretty artificial, since
I can coerce and theta (lon) and phi (lat) into the right ranges
automatically. Any reason I should accept all numbers? Or maybe at
least allow the range of -180,360 for longitude?
