> like the perl inspired shorthand "=~", css3 also has some nice shorthands 
> http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/REC-css3-selectors-20110929/#attribute-selectors
> for "startsWith" the shorthand could be "expr1 ^= expr2"
> for "endsWith" the shorthand could be "expr1 $= expr2"
> it could be that the "^=" operator already collides with "xor and assign" which i haven't looked at as of now.
