Description
I'm not a fan of ligatures like combined <= and ===, so I put 'calt' 0 in my font ligature settings.
However, I like "context-aware punctuation" as advertised in README, which is also gone with 'calt' 0.
Would you consider separating liga from calt so that with 'liga' 0 there's still "contextual punctuations" available?
As far as I can tell the current font does not use the liga flag.
Alternatively, there's a clig flag for "contextual ligature". My list of "font features" comes from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/featurelist.

Research direction
Start with the README's description of context-aware punctuation and inspect the current font feature settings for calt, liga, and clig. Compare the current behavior when each feature is disabled, then determine whether the requested separation is technically supported; done means ligatures can be disabled without removing contextual punctuation.
