Description

magrittr make piping (Haskell style) available in R.
It is not only used in magrittr, but also gives the basic operator %>%
in dplyr.

Therefore it would be helpful if we had the following operators as ligatures:

%$% magrittr exposition pipe-operator
%<>% magrittr compound assignment pipe-operator
%>% magrittr forward-pipe operator
%T>% magrittr tee operator
