Description

SF has some 'liga' code which uses GSUB classes to only apply between `{0-9}{0-9}:{0-9}{0-9}` (excuse the pseudo regex ;) and maybe it is worthwhile to do something similar here to automatically raise the colon to look centered for clock times.

Possibly this should also go in the `case` feature for `{A-Z}:{\ }` etc

Research direction

Start by locating the existing 'liga' feature code that uses GSUB classes, then inspect how the `case` feature is defined. Determine the intended clock-time patterns and whether uppercase-colon-space cases are included. Done should mean the colon is automatically raised for the agreed patterns and the feature behavior is verified.
