Stylistic set for Go

[bebraw]

My understanding is that Go is well supported by ligatures already. Here's a complete set of characters to validate: https://golang.org/ref/spec#Operators_and_punctuation .

+    &     +=    &=     &&    ==    !=    (    )
-    |     -=    |=     ||    <     <=    [    ]
*    ^     *=    ^=     <-    >     >=    {    }
/    <<    /=    <<=    ++    =     :=    ,    ;
%    >>    %=    >>=    --    !     ...   .    :
     &^          &^=

Heavy Go user here, would love to see some of these before taking the plunge.

Wondering if the second ligature is an option or too confusing? Otherwise %= would be only a white space ligature.

Whitespace alignment might be safer.

Yeah, the ligature looks weird.

There's a prerelease containing Go specific ligatures available now. These might have to go behind a specific stylistic set in case they are too specific for other languages.

Included in 2.012. The exact ligatures added are +=, -=, *=, %=, &=, &^, and &^=.
