---------------------------------------

             Summary: String matching Operator short-hand inspired by CSS3
                 Key: JEXL-133
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-133
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1
            Reporter: Alfred Reibenschuh
            Priority: Trivial


like the perl inspired shorthand "=~", css3 also has some nice shorthands 

http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/REC-css3-selectors-20110929/#attribute-selectors

for "startsWith" the shorthand could be "expr1 ^= expr2"
for "endsWith" the shorthand could be "expr1 $= expr2"

it could be that the "^=" operator already collides with "xor and assign" which 
i haven't looked at as of now.
