Possibility to filter on "starts with"

We would benefit from having more options in the filter choices. In addition to “contains”, “is”, “is not”, etc, we would like the options “starts with” and “ends with.”
An example: We have a text column with year and issue number (YYNN) where I want to be able to filter all issues from the year '16. If I use “contains” 16 in the filter, the results will not only include 1603, but also 2516.
