I don't know if it's useful one way or the other as far as making it illegal
goes, but it's certain

Cyclic buffers? At least in audio it's common to play buffer samples
in a loop and even play them in reverse. I'd imagine internally C/++
apps just have a

I have implemented a simple Turing machine (to test a busy
beaver) in D where the tape is finite in both directions, but
when the machine tries to write past one of the ends

I find infinite ranges useful mainly to represent mathematical objects.
I used them only twice:
* to represent integers: front/popF
As far as I can tell, there's nothing technically stopping an infinite range
from being bidirectional, but I can't think of any case where such a range
makes any sense at all.
isRandomAccessRange is written specifically to allow infinite forward ranges be
random access without being bidirection
