I like the idea of a new operator, but I side with Sanne that "~"
would be useful for similarity/full-text searches.
What about "?=", somewhat inspired by Groovy's Elvis operator? It
seems nicer to me for expressing null-awareness. The pattern could
even be generalized by using the operator prefix for making some more
comparison operators null-aware: "?<", "?>" etc.

+1 to ~. Sanne has a good point, but I think I'd rather see a
function
name there (CONTAINS, etc.).
