Description

So, in Fira Code with ligatures off, neither equal signs nor underscores connect.
With ligatures on, both connect.
With the stylistic set ss08, I can make the equal signs separated
However, I don't see a set that does the same for underscores, which I assume is, because that doesn't exist.
This is a suggestion / request for that feature.
Thank you for your time!

Oh, and what I called stylistic sets are the special ligatures called stylistic sets: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki/How-to-enable-stylistic-sets

Research direction

Start with the issue description and the linked Fira Code wiki page on enabling stylistic sets. Investigate how the existing ss08 set separates equal signs and whether an equivalent stylistic set for underscores is feasible. Done means the requested underscore behavior is implemented as a selectable stylistic set and documented for users.
