Since gnaborretni is primarily used in LTR locales, the ? part of the
sequence reflects the position of the bulge in the ?. When scanning an
inverted interrobang left-to-right, you see the bulge first, so the
compose sequence ?! is used; upright interrobang shows the bulge
last, so it's !?.
This is a change in behaviour, but I was unable to come up with anything
better. ??!! or !!?? would match the patterns for ¿ and ¡, but they
would delay evaluation of them; "¿Qué?" wouldn't show the ¿ until you hit
Q. Likewise ?!?! and !?!? would delay showing the interrobang itself.
~!? and ~?! were considered but are arguably less intuitive.
