        // 2. Can NOT BEGIN with a period.
        // 3. Can NOT END with a period.
        // 4. Can not have MORE THAN ONE period in a row.

        // Let's break this down:
        //
        // ^(")?
        // The local part may begin with double-quotes, but only if it also ends with it.
        // See the back-reference.  Capturing.
        //
        // (?:[^\."])
        // Here we've defined that the local part cannot begin with a period or a double-quote.  Non-capturing.
        //
        // (?:(?:[\.])?(?:[\w\-!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~]))*
        // After the first character is matched, the regex ensures that there is not more than one period
        // in a row.  Then, this nested grouping allows for zero or more of the accepted characters.
        // NOTE that this also ensures that any character not defined in the character class
        // is invalid as an ending character for the local part (such as the period).
        //
        // \1@
        // The local part of the address is a backreference to the first (and only) capturing group that allows
        // for a double-quote to wrap the local part of an email address.
