Description

This is a possible proposal to implement:

`stringtheory.like(haystack text, search text) -> boolean`

The implementation would only optimize only if search text is either: `%foo%` (substring), `%foo` (suffix), or `foo%` (prefix) search. Otherwise the implementation would fall back to the Postgres built-in `LIKE` search automatically.

Possible gotchas:

* `%_foo%` would not be supported, since `_` means "matches any 1 character"
* `%\_foo%` is supported, since the backslash escapes the `_`.
