LEFT() doesn't use index?:K@N@!:

Hi,

I was using a 4.0.13-server and wondering about why LEFT() doesn't take
advantage of an index, the way .. LIKE "X%" .. does. I was wondering if
there would be any effort in implementing this optimisation, or if
people should just be encouraged to use LIKE (as bug #747 mentions)?
