consider removing =< ligature #17

Description

@jab

=< currently displays with the glyph. I would expect this for <=, but for =< I would prefer this to display as the two separate glyphs =< with no ligature. I suspect many other Python programmers feel the same way, since the characters =< frequently appear in __repr__ strings that have nothing to do with <= comparison, e.g.:

>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> Foo = namedtuple('Foo', 'bar')
>>> Foo(bar=object())
Foo(bar=<object object at 0x1071b7ef0>)

The current behavior results in Foo(bar≤object object at 0x107...>) being shown, which is actually misleading.

I'm guessing Python isn't the only context where the =< substring means something very different from <=.

Would you consider removing the =< → ≤ ligature?

Thanks for your consideration and for sharing this wonderful font! <333
