But till and until are synonyms.  They both sound like iteration.
Although it might be unavoidable since all prepositions that give a
destination seem to imply going to that destination.  till, until,
toward, to, up to, etc.  So might as well go with the shortest one,
"to".

r.toBegin(s), r.toEnd(s)
r.fromBegin(s), r.fromEnd(s)
