 {{{
 Array (
   [post_type] => gallery_post
   [posts_per_page] => 4
   [paged] => 1
   [meta_query] => Array (
     [0] => Array (
       [key] => author
       [value] => B%
       [compare] => LIKE
     )
   )
 )
 }}}

 Right now, like_escape is used in the meta_query value, but what if I want
 values starting with letter B, like in the example above?
 Why not let the user explicitly use like_escape or add a flag or something
 to keep backwards compatibility?
