I think you are misunderstanding what I wrote.

"Iterators don't have a "left" or "right" side, they have a start and an end?"

This is my point.  At that time I felt that left and right made more
sense because as we see iterators pick up in use it might be confusing
to see other functions elsewhere that create iterators using start/end
in their names.  I thought that left/right made more sense because
it's very unambiguous that these are not generating functions, and
left/right refers very clearly to the left or right side of the
string.  Someone later replied saying it would still be confusing with
script that is rendered right-to-left, but encoded left-to-right.

There is no win ~ it's been decided anyway, so I'm just laying down my
pitchfork.
