// looks out of place in URLs #118

The new slash-slash ligature looks lovely when used in code comments, but a bit out-of-place in a URL:

Sample rendering (ligature above, no ligature below, rendered in kitty terminal at 14.5pt on Arch Linux)

Feels to me—in this context—like the extra space around the // breaks the flow, and it feels extra-far away from the colon. Would it be possible to apply this ligature only when not preceded by a colon, or to introduce a colon_slash_slash "ligature" to patch it up?
