Description

QgsExpression LIKE / ILIKE / NOT LIKE / NOT ILIKE operators do currently not allow to escape _ and % operators.

Default escape string should be a backslash \\ or customizable with an ESCAPE statement appended to the LIKE (et al) operator specifying an escape character.

E.g.

LIKE "45!%" ESCAPE "!"
should match
"45%" but not "45% or more"
