Some other ideas ...

^A..^Z          Too confusing with $^A and $^Z ?
^A..^?          Well, if control-A is the alpha, then control-? 
                is the natural omega :-)
^..$            Borrowing from REs
^..^-1          ^ becomes something like $[.  Indices "before" it
                come from the end of the array.
<..>            start from the little end and move to the other
                er ... little end

After typing these I can see why Larry likes A and Z so much.
