Comment:
Since all major browsers support underscores, and DNS allows underscore
domains, it's bound that when URLValidator is used to validate a user's
input it will fail unexpectedly from the user's perspective.
Strictly abiding by the RFC with complete disregard to pragmatism makes no
sense. The least this highly opinionated class can offer is a strict flag.
