Should torsion spring End_Angle_Free <0 be valid? #837

In release 4.4, torsion spring End_Angle_Free has the setting: "validmin": -Number.MIN_VALUE,

Is this unnecessarily restrictive ? Why not "validmin": -360.0, ? "validmax": 360.0, ?

If the desire is to set a small tolerant zone around End_Angle_Free = 0, with the current release, it should be possible to set: End_Angle_Free MIN = 359 End_Angle_Free MAX = 361 and then subtract one coil from constraints or Fixes placed on Coils_T and Coils_A.
