I also need upside-down question mark and exclamation point: ¡ ¿ ¿If the right side up versions are operators, why not the upside-down versions? I am using them because they are easy to type and my grammar calls for both ? and !, which are already in use by swift. Using ¡ and ¿ is an easy translation when typing in from research papers (which use ! and ?). I have quite a few projects dependent on these, and I don’t think they would ever be confused with identifiers… so why ban them?
