I don't think that you can.  The EOQualifier JavaDocs state "The operators you 
can use in constructing qualifiers are =, ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=, "like", and 
"caseInsensitiveLike"."

I am not aware of any way to extend this.

You may be able to create them in code and then use the Serializable interface 
to get a text version.  I have never tried that.
