Description

In Rust it's pretty common to have a question mark followed by a dot and the ligature:

  • makes the ligature unaligned with the rest of the code
  • makes the highlight fail on some editors

Research direction

Use the screenshots and the stated Rust ?. ligature behavior as the acceptance target. The issue names no files or tests, so first locate the repository's ligature source and generation workflow, then determine how an enable/disable option would be exposed. Done means the ?. rendering can be toggled as requested without the alignment and editor-highlighting problems.
