Description
For my usecase it would be very useful to have pattern matching for `bytea` type inside a query, similar to how `_like` works for
strings.
Currently I have to query all results and filter client-side, which works but does increase bandwith significantly for no benefit.
Thanks in advance 😄
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how the existing `_like` query behavior handles strings and how `bytea` values are represented in queries. Define the matching semantics and expected query behavior for bytea, then add coverage showing that pattern matching works without client-side filtering.
