Firacode: Ligature request: >==> <==<

(not to be confused with >=> and <=<, for which firacode ligatures already exist.)

Currently used in scalaz: https://github.com/scalaz/scalaz/blob/series/7.3.x/core/src/main/scala/scalaz/Kleisli.scala

In FiraCode 1.102

They would鈥檝e been better switching to full unicode instead of ASCII art. E.g. what鈥檚 this -\/? \/-? I鈥檒l never catch up with them

Those represent the left and right sides of a \/ (disjunction) respectively. It鈥檚 better to have a certain combination rendered without ligatures though, than to turn half of a symbol into one. What do you think?

In other words, if you rendered >==> as >==>, and <==< as <==<, I think that would be an improvement
