There were other choices that were not as popular as the ones above, 
please don't be angry I didn't mention them all.

This vote was rather informal so I allowed myself to do a tally without 
having specified a deadline etc. So I'm not sure how much this all 
counts... should we just settle for front and back?

I'd be fine with front/back.  Not quite as nice as first/last, but
it's better than head/toe.

I think head/toe is pretty neat, otherwise first/last.

I also like head and last due to its establishment in the FP community; 
I didn't count my vote in because "we" wouldn't have won anyway.

Pick one and stick with it.  That is all I would suggest.

If someone takes major offense to it, they could alias it to their 
preference, right?  I've been dabbling with Objective-C while waiting 
for the DMD/GDC/LDC thunking to end, so my D is getting slightly rusty.

Not really, because these names will be used as members of hundreds of
different user-created range structs.
There's no way to make a generic alias for a member of even one struct
let alone hundreds of different ones.

Just thinking about what will happen when we get containers

Now if we are about to settle for front and back, how about following 
STL all the way through and using popFront and popBack? That would make 
for a very clean nomenclature.
