Ligature request: =~ and !~

[DannyBen]

First of all, I want to say that I love this font. It was so much more easy on the eyes than others, that I had to thoroughly read its homepage to better understand why. Great job.

Not sure if this was requested or considered before, I was unable to find it in the issues.

Fira Code has ligatures for =~ and !~. Both are disabled by default, so I am guessing it might not be desired by everybody or every language.

These are used (at least) in Ruby and Bash for regex comparison:

puts "match" if "hello" =~ /h.*o/
puts "no match" if "hey" !~ /h.*o/

It would be nice to have in JetBrains Mono, even if just as "opt in" features (does JetBrains Mono have any disabled features that can be enabled?).

Hi @DannyBen In one of the first version there was a ligature for =~. It was removed due to complains. Adding it as an option may be a way. I will look in to that.
