-# NOTE: I initially wrote this as `EmailValidator` but it ended up clashing
-# with an indirect dependency of ours, `validate_email`, which, turns out,
-# has the same approach as we do, but with an extra check disallowing
-# single-label domains. Decided to not switch to `validate_email` because
-# we do want to allow at least `localhost`.
