No way to set maxBounds for only one dimension

[erahhal]

I'm creating a run of the mill web mercator world map, and would like to prevent panning beyond the poles in the vertical direction, but allow infinite wrap around in the horizontal direction. The only way I've found to do this is adding the following maxBounds option to the map object:

var southWestBound = L.latLng(-85, -99999);
var northEastBound = L.latLng(85, 99999);
var maxBounds =  L.latLngBounds(southWestBound, northEastBound);

This works, but with a few issues. First, it's not correct - if you keep moving in one direction horizontally you will still hit a bound. Also, without knowing the architecture of Leaflet, it's unclear if it will cause caching issues. Unclear whether markers will wrap around as well (haven't tried it yet). Lastly, if you use this hack, the tiles keep flickering in each time you wrap around the world boundary, as Leaflet thinks they are new tiles.

What is the correct way of doing this?

Did you try to use Infinity / -Infinity?

I would be surprised if it works — probably not...
