"Range" sounds as odd to people new to D as "диапазон", and has 
the same issue with the existing interpretation of an interval of 
values. Thus, "диапазон" is an accurate translation. Anyway, 
using established terminology outweighs accuracy of translation, 
as the former is less likely to confuse readers familiar with the 
subject.
