Shouldn't this be "a range not bounded below"?

Same thing here.

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