Comment (by soulseekah):

 Started on this.

 Implemented the following operators: `!=`, `IN`, `NOT IN`, `NOT LIKE`.

 The numerical operators don't make too much sense, I think, since nobody
 names meta keys with pure numbers out there... I hope :)

 I've marked `EXISTS`, `NOT EXISTS` (these are pretty much `=` and `!=`
 operators as is, they can probably be aliased), `RLIKE`, `REGEXP` and `NOT
 REGEXP` for later, so just looking to get some eyes on what I have so far.

 Special thanks to @versusbassz for working with me on this. He'll upload
 the modified docblock once all operators are covered.

 Cheers.
