Hi there,

I have recently discovered the FiraCode font which provides additional
programming ligatures [1]. While FiraCode seems to be the most popular font in
this style, there is also a fork of DejaVu Sans Mono which provides this
feature [2].

Please consider adding a DejaVu Sans Mono variant which provides additional
programming ligatures.

(It doesn't need to be a whole duplicate of Sans Mono. Instead, it should be
sufficient to only provide the ligatures in a separate file and add a
fontconfig rule to prefer Sans Mono for all the other glyphs.)

Thanks!

 - Fabian
