[ruby-core:94466] [Ruby master Bug#16114] Naming of "beginless range"

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

----------------------------------------
#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".
