Feature Request: == ligature joins together just like ===

Description of the new feature/enhancement (with images if possible)

So the ===, the !== and the != all have a ligature that joins the symbols together, I find it looks quite strange for just the == to be closer, but still not joined. Is it on purpose so you don't get it confused with a = ? Just my opinion but it would look cleaner that way.

Proposed technical implementation details

Either it could be part of the main ligatures or it could be its own separate own just like slashed zero. So in VSCode you could do: "editor.fontLigatures": "'zero', 'equals'" maybe, so that it's there if you want it. Also maybe could there be a ligature for => that isn't completely different to just a = and a > ?
