Subject: [ruby-core:94466] [Ruby master Bug#16114] Naming of "beginless range"
Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2019 23:58:04 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-80899.20190821235804.20291dc464f45cb9@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-16114.20190821233444@ruby-lang.org
Issue #16114 has been updated by mrkn (Kenta Murata).
Other candidates from mathematics:
- a range bounded below
- lower-unbounded range
- left-unbounded range
If we use "unbounded" for the minimum value of a range, we should rephrase "endless" with the following candidates:
- a range bounded above
- upper-unbounded range
- right-unbounded range

Bug #16114: Naming of "beginless range"
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16114#change-80899
* Author: pwim (Paul McMahon)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal

* ruby -v:
* Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
#14799 introduces a "beginless range" to complement the already existing "endless range". However, "beginless" isn't an existing word in English. Since the term for something without a beginning is "beginingless", I'd propose renaming "beginless range" to "beginningless range".
