-- | Properly validating e-mail addresses (or converting EBNF to Parsec)
--   
--   In recent times there have been several calls for websites to properly
--   validate email addresses. Invariably, the compiled regex from Perls
--   RFC822 is pasted up as The Way To Do It. The problem with this is (as
--   the source code from the Perl module notes) is that email addresses
--   cannot be validated by a simple regex (due to requiring
--   parenthesis-matching). The Perl code addresses this by first stripping
--   out all comments and then parsing via regex.
--   
--   With this in mind, I thought that implementing the Addr-Spec
--   specification from RFC 5322 (only released less than 6 months ago)
--   might be a good test of the Haskell library Parsec. So, without
--   further ado I went ahead and translated the EBNF from RFC 5322
--   directly into Parsec.
