String comparison with wildcard characters. The operation returns a boolean True (-1) if the string before the operator is matched by the string after the operator. The second string may contain the wildcard characters * (any number of arbitrary characters) or ? (one arbitrary character).

'abc' like 'a*' returns True (-1)

'abcd' like 'a?c*' returns True (-1)

'abc' like 'a??bc' returns False (0)
