Is that is the wished behavoir?

template1=# SELECT 1='1';
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)

*template1=# SELECT 1 LIKE '1';
ERROR: operator does not exist: integer ~~ unknown at character 10*
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You
might need to add explicit type casts.
LINE 1: SELECT 1 LIKE '1';
^
template1=# SELECT version();
version
