(Request) Ligatures for LiveScript symbols #153

Open pepkin88 opened 8 years ago

pepkin88 commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to have ligatures for the following symbols: <[, ]>, <<<<, >?, <?, ^^ and !~=. And maybe also | _ as | ␣, symbolizing a placeholder. There are more, but I think those would be enough.

There are cases, where some ligatures of the current set looks weird in the context of LiveScript ({- in {-flag} and .= in variable.=method!), but it's not terrible. I presume that it's not easy to make a language aware font.

Perl 6 also makes use of <[ and ]> for custom regexp properties.
