Wat
---
Dude, seriously, how many email validators are there out there? How hard are
they to pick between?
I got tired of it. I'm making a proof of it.
I'm going to release a better email validator soon. I'm not done yet, but my
prerelease is already spitting distance behind best I can find. (I'm coming for you, Steve.)
It's data time!

... for now. My package is tied with his regex (because I copied it,) so he gets the win.
Improvements incoming. :smile:
How, please
-----------
First, I gathered a bunch of email test data, and put it into packages like
[testdata-valid-email](https://www.npmjs.org/package/testdata-valid-email),
[testdata-invalid-email](https://www.npmjs.org/package/testdata-valid-email), and
[testdata-newtld-email](https://www.npmjs.org/package/testdata-valid-email), from
excellent community resources like
[Fighting for a Lost Cause](https://fightingforalostcause.net/content/misc/2006/compare-email-regex.php).
Then, I made a mechanic to test them one at a time, and count the results.
Finally, I gathered as many email validators as I could find, and I leveraged them.
Polemic :neckbeard:
