I like the prefix marks. I wish we used them for all of our punctuation. They improve readability. Imagine if we removed the leading double-quote on our quoted lines.

.I feel like this analogy doesn't entirely work because you always know where the question starts, as that's where the sentence startS. ,And a sentence always starts where the one before ends, ¿righT? .However I still see why you say it improves readabilitY. ¡I'm sure my comment is very readable right noW!

lol yeah I guess it depends on the length of the sentence and the context. Context is usually pretty clear for questions, and maybe exclamations are typically short enough that the '!' is already visible anyways. Definitely wasn't considering periods and commas in that list.
