Description
->-> (nested functions in CoffeeScript and Civet) seems to prefer rendering as
instead of what I expected, which you'd get from greedy matching:
I don't know much about ligatures, but I'm guessing they can be assigned a weight to give them priorities. Perhaps equal priority would fix this issue? I'm not sure if there's a fix that doesn't break any use-cases, but I also can't imagine that ->-> would make sense with a >-> ligature. Alternatively, I could remove the >-> ligature for my use-case.
