The matlab behaviour is to extend the first bin to include all data down to -inf and extend the last bin to handle all data to inf. This is probably the behaviour with least suprise.
Therefor, I would vote +1 for behaviour #1 by default, +1 for keeping the old behaviour #2 around as an option and -1 for any extending of the bins (#3).
