Prefer the British Style of Quotation Mark Punctua...
FWIW the British style looks more aesthetically pleasing to me. The American style reminds me of inappropriately mixed brackets: [(]). Cringe.

Oddly, perhaps, I wish programming languages
would
allow or require mixed brackets when working with open- and/or closed-ended ranges.

Why would you make a style choice to make something less aesthetically pleasing?

I wouldn't and I don't think I am. The American style is not aesthetically pleasing at all. I think you misread my comment or replied to me accidentally.
