"The tilde (\~) character is often used as a pair with other characters
to form multiple operators in programming. For example, there's the
match operator (=\~) in Ruby that does a regular expression match. Still
in Ruby, specifically in RubyGems, we have the pessismistic version
constraint operator/twiddle-wakka (\~>).
In both operators, the tilde is just slightly higher. This is more
noticeable in the twiddle-wakka operator. Would it be possible to
vertically align the tilde character with the other characters? If it
can't be possible to do this as the default rendering, then maybe offer
it as an alternate glyph."
