why? -180 and +180 are equivalent.
the only problem you might have is, if you interpolating between say
-179 and +179 (which might go through 0 rather than 180)

what i usually do in such cases is to check whether the difference is
>180° and if so, apply wrapping, so that i always interpolate on the
shortest path.
