Distinguish single-equals and double-equals more

[dhouck]

In many languages, there is a huge difference between x = y and x == y. However, they are not as easy to distinguish in Fira Code (or most other ligature programming fonts) as I think they should be.

The only programming font I’ve seen that does this well is Pragmata Pro, which puts a little notch on the == ligature so that even though it’s a single symbol it’s still easy to tell it’s a double equal sign.

Alternately, of course, this can be a variant once you have those.

EDIT: This can also be done like with --, where they get closer but don’t actually connect.

In the issues closed as duplicates of this you say that once variants exist you’ll do this. Well, Fira Code now has stylistic sets; can you please do this one?

Yes, this is a good opportunity and one of the most requested features. Thanks!
