Description
all bitwise operators + equals (|=, ^=, >>=, <<=) have ligatures except for &= (the tilde can't be used as an assignment operator), while they're not used exclusively as operators, it would be really nice if the ampersand got some parity as well

Research direction
The issue requests an additional &= programming ligature in the FiraCode font. Start by locating the existing source definitions for |=, ^=, >>=, and <<= ligatures, then compare their generation or validation steps. Done means &= renders consistently with those operators without affecting ordinary ampersand usage.
