New Parameter for 'Where' array filter

Lava

Please enable us to use 'Contains' as one of the Parameters for the Where array filter.

Using the same example as the documentation, this Lava:

{{ CurrentPerson.NickName }}'s other contact numbers are: {{ CurrentPerson.PhoneNumbers | Where:'NumberTypeValueId', 136, 'notequal' | Select:'NumberFormatted' | Join:', ' }}.

Returns this output:

Ted's other contact numbers are: (623) 555-5551, (623) 555-5552.

I would like to use contains as my parameter instead of only having the options for 'equal' and 'notequal'. For example, this Lava:

{{ CurrentPerson.PhoneNumbers | Where:'Number', '52', 'contains' | Select:'NumberFormatted' | Join:', ' }}.

Would return this output:

(623) 555-5552
