While it may be difficult to validate an email according to some IETF’s RFC, the HTML standard has pragmatically adopted a pattern (used to validate `<input type=email>` fields) that is both readable and suitable for most practical purposes. See:

Well, it would be a more clearly documented source than the current implementation, although the spec admits it's "wilfully" not following e-mail standards. I'd be happy to see it committed, maybe for PHP 8.3.

I note that it doesn't support internationalized addresses in their Unicode form, though, so it won't do for FILTER_FLAG_EMAIL_UNICODE.
