Problem description:
Many BitMap operations take a range, specified via a pair of parameters. Some use the names "start" and "end", others use "beg" and "end", and the search functions use "l_index" and "r_index". It would be nice if these were consistent. "start" and "end" seem like a good choice. 

Patch:
The pair of `start`  and `end` used whenever a range to be defined/referred.

Should I keep `beg` and `end` and change the fewer instances of `start`?
