C# doesn't seem to have bi-directional ranges. Only forward ones. In any case, they are enumerated over using an IEnumerator (or IEnumerator<T>, depending on whether you want generic support). In any case, the "head" element is the property "Current". In a container, you can only get the last element of something that has an indexer, and in that case, its: container[container.Count - 1]; So I'm not sure there's any point in listing C# as a viable candidate to steal property names from ;) C# and .net in general I think suck in terms of standard containers/algorithms anyways. It's one thing I don't like about it. references: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.collections.ienumerator.current.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ewthkb10.aspx In any case, I think front and back make the most sense to me. I did come from C++ however... I don't mind any of the normal choices (I don't count car as being 'normal'), but if Walter insists on keeping foreach_reverse, let's all remember that whatever is chosen for the rear/toe/last element of a range is going to be embedded in the compiler/spec, and essentially set in stone. -Steve
