Multiple underscores in a row

When multiple underscores are typed adjacent to each other, the result is like this:

It would be nice if there were ligatures such that this can appear as a single solid line (as if drawn in a single longer handwritten stroke). Or perhaps it can be done without ligatures if the single glyph were changed to be perfectly horizontal and the shape of it changed slightly.

Hi @sophiebits. We'll likely not be adding ligatures to Virgil since not everyone likes them, but current rendering is half-way a ligature, half-way not. So perhaps we should pick one side, and separate them.
