 If someone wants to join a half dozen LIKE clauses, they can already do
 it. The new proposed syntax makes it marginally easier to inflict pain on
 oneself, but IMO this is not a serious concern.

 More serious is that LIKE + an array is ambiguous between OR and AND.
 #27344 proposes some additional syntax to handle that, but in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27344#comment:4 I rain on that
 parade too. Short story: anything you want to do with the proposed array
 syntax can be accomplished without it, especially since [29887].

 I'm going to close this ticket because it's covered by #27344, which I
 think should also be closed. robmiller - thanks so much for the patch.
