Absolutely.

It's an improvement, but I believe the proper English prefix for something that 
is doubly-reflective in that sense is "Duplex".  It's also easier and shorter 
to pronounce.  Say it with me now:

"DuplexRange"

Keep up the awesome work Andre.

BTW: D really needs some promotional work.  Would there be any chance that you 
or Walter could give a talk at Google?  A short presentation with a list of 
topics that could improve D would be great as a way to get Google Summer of 
Code resources allocated.
