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.
