    4 Verified. It's funny that such a simple trick would bring three orders of magnitude of improvement.

    6 The other interesting thing is that this reduces the need for a case-sensitive `like()` to... no occurrences at all! So my next suggestion would be to drop the idea of separate `like()` and `ilike()` altogether, and keep `like()` case-insensitive.
     4Ha! Lazyness attack! But I have to agree, let's defer making the `like`/`ilike` distinction to when it becomes really needed. If not already done, we should also make sure the docstring for `like()` correctly highlights its case-insensitiveness.
