List.AddRange() exists, but IList.AddRange() doesn’t.
This strikes me as odd. What’s the reason behind this?

Because an interface shoud be easy to implement and not contain “everything but the kitchen”. If you add
AddRangeyou should then addInsertRangeandRemoveRange(for symmetry). A better question would be why there aren’t extension methods for theIList<T>interface similar to theIEnumerable<T>interface. (extension methods for in-placeSort,BinarySearch, … would be useful)
