Description
I'm not sure if this is fixable, but...
in C-like languages, something like while (x --> 0) should render with the -- and > as separate glyphs; NOT with --> as one big ligature.
Are there languages that use --> that would conflict with this behavior ? I'm not familiar with any.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Fira Code ligature definitions for the --> sequence and how glyph substitution handles C-like expressions such as while (x --> 0). Confirm whether the sequence can render as separate -- and > glyphs without conflicting with languages that use -->; done means the unwanted combined ligature is no longer produced.
