Why not just add LIKE support to Gadfly?  LIKE uses a very simple wildcard
scheme (at least in MySQL, where I use it).  "%" is the same as ".*" in
regular expressions and "_" is the same as ".", so in the Gadfly code you
could (in theory) implement LIKE as a case-insensitive regular expression.
"%Dav_\%" would map to the regular expression "(?i).*Dav.%".
