^^^^^^^^^^^^
That part is superfluous. If it matches a punctuation char, its
optional variant (matching no char) will make the \b word boundary
match as well.
Crap, that's actually wrong. :/ There is exactly *one* char in the POSIX
punct char class, that also is a word char -- the underscore...
So that translates to "with an optional underscore after the TLD".
Sorry, my bad.
That's an inefficient and confusing way to deal with the fact that
underscore breaks \b, and doesn't cover all cases. I prefer:
Before text: \b_*
After text: _*\b
As in: /\b_*www_*\b/
