Bug description:New String operators

Description:
------------
~ = matches substring (contains operator)
^~ = matches beginning of string (begins with operator)
~^ = matches ending of string (ends with operator)

$str = "abcdef";

old:
if (strpos($str, "bcd")!==false) {} // true
if (strpos($str, "abc")===0) {} // true
if (strpos($str, "def")===3) {} // true

new:
if ($str ~ "bcd") {} // true
if ($str ^~ "abc") {} // true
if ($str ~^ "def") {} // true

Test script:
---------------
$str = "abcdef";
assertTrue($str ~ "bcd");
assertTrue($str ^~ "abc");
assertTrue($str ~^ "def");

assertFalse($str ~ "aef");
assertFalse($str ^~ "bcd");
assertFalse($str ~^ "abc");
