Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the existing ligature definitions for /* and / in the FiraCode source, then inspect how adjacent multi-character sequences are represented. Done means the Swift /* documentation-comment sequence renders as a matching ligature without disrupting the existing /* and */ ligatures.
