Can LIKE be easily overloaded in the parser? So:
text LIKE text
works in it's current form, and
tsvector LIKE tsquery
also works like the @@? Or have I gotten all the ts* types all mixed up

But it doesn't buy anything except avoiding the "@@" that people seem to not
grok easily, and it might actually cause more grief, because of people
confusing the 2 forms of LIKE.
