Description
When coding in C++, I wrote something like ClassName<type>::Function, and the two colons aren't aligned properly :
I suppose >: and :A are taken together.
A more correct behavior would be to consider :: as a token and to align both colons the same way.
The issue disappears if the first letter of the function is not a capital letter.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported C++ example ClassName<type>::Function and compare it with a lowercase function name. Trace the font's programming-ligature handling for ::, >: and :A; done means both colons are aligned consistently in the affected case.
