Warp is the only tool that has an abyss policy option, IIRC.  As for
filters, convolution matrix, displace, edge, fractal trace, and Gaussian
blur all have this option, although some of them call it "border" or
"border behavior" instead.  Bump map, ripple, and waves also have a
toggle that switches between two of the abyss policy modes, although
they call it "clamp", or "tiled/tileable".

The example uses the warp tool, of course :)  It is in swirl mode,
though, as you guessed.  The whirl/pinch filter indeed lacks this
option.

The text for the abyss policy items comes from GEGL.  It seems that
switching the language in the preferences only affects GIMP text, and
not GEGL.  We should probably fix that, since it affects all the GEGL
filters.
