It's an improvement, but I believe the proper English prefix for something
that is doubly-reflective in that sense is "Duplex". It's also easier and
shorter to pronounce. Say it with me now:
"DuplexRange"
I'm a native Englsh speaker, and if I saw something called "DuplexRange", my
first thought would be "Wait, is that full-duplex or half-duplex?" But maybe
that's just me :)
Well everyone is going to have an opinion based on the usage of "Duplex" they
are most familiar with. Full duplex is actually redundant. Duplex means double.
Half-Duplex ironically just means single or more properly simplex.
Duplex in comms means double ended communications or a communications channel
that supports simultaneous communications in both directions.
Duplex in printing means printing from both sides.
I was just suggesting a neat and tidy term that when combined with Range means
double-ended range.
If this is not what is meant then by all means suggest a more proper term for
double-ended or double sided. Could be there is a better term than any of
those.

To me, Half-Duplex != Simplex, as the former is two-way, but not
simultaneously, as opposed to just single direction, but anyway...
