Indeed the command \colonequals give the precise expected alignment for the combination glyph « := ». Befors changing the combination « := » to \columnequals in my documents, I am wondering whether one could add a small lua code in order to make an automatic replacement at run time. Actually, since I don’t know of any other instance in which the combination « := » is used to mean something else, would it not be reasonnable to make « := » synonym to \colonequals?

that's what the (has-always-been-there)
