Some characters shouldn't always ligate. We should probably have separate OpenType features to control language-specific behavior.

Erlang

  • => isn't an arrow; rather, it's a comparison operator. It should either not ligate or (perhaps) look more like ≥.

Haskell

  • /= means 'not equal'. Should its ligature look more like ≠ if Haskell mode is enabled?

HTML/XML

  • --> isn't an arrow; it closes a comment. (But we could still handle it like Monoid does and just make a corresponding <!-- ligature.)

More as I think of it, or as I receive comments from others...
