That's a regex for email validation so cryptic even Gandalf can't decipher it. The dark arts of regular expressions - where developers spend 6 hours crafting an unreadable pattern that will inevitably fail on some edge case anyway. Just use a library, for crying out loud. Your future self will thank you when they're not debugging why [email protected] is somehow "invalid".

The best part is the "it isn't actually necessary anymore... but the whole spell falls apart without it" bit.
