Description
@tonsky - I have an idea: you could add a ligature for the new FiraCode progress bar chars themselves, for the case where a bar is 100% completed. Some progress bar libraries allow setting a "theme" for the bar, with characters for bar start, filled progress, empty progress, and bar end, but do not have a concept of two different characters for bar end depending on whether the progress has reached 100% or not.
This results in a progress bar that looks slightly incomplete:
A ligature could solve that by replacing the sequence \uee04\uee02 (filled bar, empty end) with \uee04\uee05 (filled bar, filled end).
Even without all the application-specific ligatures, I think this would be useful.
