Side effects of the new ".)" ligature (also ".]") #264

Description

@curio77

I don't really know why this was added, but the ligature for ".)" (yielding "·)") also comes up in text containing sentences inside parentheses, where it's clearly undesirable and irritating. I'd like to see this reconsidered. If one happens to have a sentence in square brackets, the same applies ("[Yada yada·]"). I reckon such uses are much more frequent than actual usages in the context of that obscure language.

If there's a strong incentive to have such obscure (!) ligatures for specific languages, wouldn't it be possible to create separate sub-variants of the font for them so that users can select the sub-variant most suited for their purposes or even use different ones in different contexts (console vs. IDE, etc.)?
