2 years ago In reality, a lot of people use a 20-380 degree system so as to keep all the major oceans in one piece.
Not here to argue, but this is the first I have ever heard of this practice.
More broadly, the Julia software wraps the C library (as does python and R) so any change in behaviour should probably be considered upstream so that the various flavours don't diverge in their usage by adding special cases.
On Ubuntu, the GibbsSeawater.jl will report a "signal (11): Segmentation fault" error if longitude is great than 360.
