Absolutely.
BidirectionalRange -> DoublyEndedRange
Rationale: bidirectional suggests something that can move *in*

either end.
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.
Google invited me for a talk via Benjamin Shropshire (thanks!). I am
waiting for my manager's approval.
