"new?" would be fine,. Actually better. But we shied away from it, so as to not impinge upon future use of "?". Even if there was no lexical ambiguity there might be conceptual confusion with some future usage. But, if there is a general willingness to to use "?", I'd be all for it. BTW, "new^" (other whatever) is intended to be a single token, not a pair of tokens.
