This would make string comparison and expression parsing far quicker and more friendly to write. Implementation details pending.

Updating status to: Approved
Updating severity to: 1 - Low
Updating version to: 2.91

One of the possibilities discussed was an SQL-like "LIKE" operator for the IF command. This would be fairly straightforward to implement, robotic doesn't have the keyword "like" anywhere, and it'd still leave room for better string comparison (like regex) in the future.

We also don't have to worry about cleaning these out of robots on downver because 2.90d handles out-of-bounds operators gracefully now.

Lancer and I discussed possible alternatives to "LIKE" and tentatively decided on ?= (case insensitive) and ?== (case sensitive). Both would function more or less exactly like SQL's LIKE operator. Regex support is specified in more detail here.
