I haven't seen any discussion about this, but FWIW CSS 0 and JQuery
1 use ^= for this purpose.
^ also indicates the beginning of the string in regular expressions
(this is why ^= was chosen for CSS/JQuery).
They also use = to indicate "attribute contains word" 0.
Perl also has a similar-looking operator 3 (=) used to test a regex match.
