Oops!  The correct candidates are "a range unbounded below" and "a range unbounded above".

Thanks.

#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".
