Well, ILIKE has been a feature for quite some time and the amount of
negative feedback we've been receiving about upgrade problems makes me
feel that _removing_ it would be detrimental. (i.e. broken applications)
As an alternative to _removing_ it, would a feasible idea be to
transparently alias it to something else, say a specific type of regex
query or something?
