The implementation of these obscure members of
Range
are uselessly complicated for the purposes ofRange
itself. Making them private will allow to relax their semantics to the specific needs ofRange
, making them simpler, together with the initialization code ofRange
.terminalElement
becomes dead code and is removed.Subsequently, we relax the initialization of
lastElement
not to care about the empty case, since it is only used in code paths where the range is non-empty.About compatibility with 2.11: this is not the first breaking change of deprecated parts of
Range
in 2.12.Range
was sealed in cb1a452, according to a deprecated inheritance that was added in 2.11. The present PR is arguably a less damaging break than that.
