+By default, all values in an the assoc array passed to `where()` will be treated as an `EQUALS` (=) operator.

+Setting the value of any key to another assoc array will allow for more "advanced" filtering by defining your own [`Operators`](https://github.com/VictorWesterlund/php-libmysqldriver/blob/master/src/Operators.php).

+The key of this subarray can be any MySQL operator string, or the **->value** of any case in the [`Operators`](https://github.com/VictorWesterlund/php-libmysqldriver/blob/master/src/Operators.php) enum.
