>Near-Perfect Alignment: multi-character symbols like ->, >>=, =~, :: align seamlessly

The GitHub page has a list with 5 items of what was the focus, this is the first (and I think the most easily noticeable) area

I wonder why only near-perfect.

there are bounds to be many many operators and glyph combinations where things don't match properly. an example is the variable declaration and initialisation symbol in Go which combines colon and equal sign. if you use Myna and come across any such examples, please raise a feature request. i only focused on glyphs for languages i use personally. but if there is interest i am open to adding contextual alternates to give some alignment in cases where changing one glyph would disturb other combinations. of course you can always point out any rendering or design issues with singular glyphs too.
