BaseCriteria.LikeEscaped method

Creates a new binary Like criteria containing this criteria as the left operand, with an ESCAPE clause. The mask must already be escaped for the given escape character (see EscapeLikeWildcards); it is used as is. For literal values prefer Contains, StartsWith or EndsWith; for raw patterns without ESCAPE see Like.
