That was the only other viable suggestion. But I don't think it's very
intuitive -- eg, it sounds like there ought to be an opBegin(); why
isn't it used for ranges?; etc.
I'd go for opLength() if it really was a length, but it's not.
The big thing in favour of opDollar() is that everyone instantly knows
exactly what it means.
