Hey @yusefren, thanks very much for adding this. I've just committed 2 failing tests for this in 6944aa836de4e24c34729b658888b5ca425b5f7f.

That said (and for anyone that wants to take a stab at implementing this), we're talking about extremely rare edge cases here in terms of the email addresses I see in data breaches. I suspect that anyone attempting to use one of these addresses on most sites would find them rejected and I'd be surprised if they were in broad use. By all means, implement this idea just make sure it doesn't hit the performance of parsing out the most common stuff.
