+1 - have a look at the getDomainLowerBound(double) and
getDomainUpperBound(double).  In theory, the new methods could be
implemented by passing 0 or 1 to these methods.  Some
implementations at least behave that way now.  It might be good to
amend the implementations and eventually (in 3.0) the contracts of
these methods to behave that way uniformly, in which case
implementation could reside there.

+1 in any case to add the new methods.  Thanks!
