I was thinking along the lines of another match operator besides "==".
Somthing like "=~" (which might confuse perl users), "=?" (which
"make" user might confuse with "?="), "=*" (which may suggest that
"=*" uses globbing and "==" does not), "=_" (which does suggest
lowercase but looks awkward, besides "_" is often considered
non-special character) or "=." (which also suggests lowercase).

MfG,
Jö.
