Here everything looks file. I followed one link in that page that
led me to this one:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/TXT+Language+Analysis

I have a few observations there (more like questions, it's not like
I'm asking to address any of these):
- the like filter still asks for a literal pattern. Why so, can't one
   have an expression that builds the pattern instead? Something like:
   att1 like (att2 + '%')
   Anyways, just a minor detail.
- the values in the IN predicate, can they be expressions?

Looks fine to me for now, although of course it delays the usability
of TXT for GeoServer by 6 months. I guess we're always free to do a
backport later no?

Ah, +1 for the proposal.
