Description
It would be nice to have ligatures for the following symbols:
<[, ]>, <<<<, >?, <?, ^^ and !~=. And maybe also | _ as | ␣, symbolizing a placeholder.
There are more, but I think those would be enough.
There are cases, where some ligatures of the current set looks weird in the context of LiveScript ({- in {-flag} and .= in variable.=method!), but it's not terrible. I presume that it's not easy to make a language aware font.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Fira Code ligature definitions and the current ligatures mentioned in the issue. Compare the requested LiveScript symbol sequences, including the optional placeholder form, with the existing set and verify that the proposed glyphs remain legible in the cited contexts; done means the selected sequences render as intended without worsening those cases.
