+    Returns True if the passed email address is valid.
+
+    The local part of the email precedes the singular @ symbol and
+    is associated with a display-name. For example, "john.smith"
+    The domain is stricter than the local part and follows the @ symbol.
+
+    Global email checks:
+     1. There can only be one @ symbol in the email address. Technically if the
+        @ symbol is quoted in the local-part, then it is valid, however this
+        implementation ignores "" for now.
+        (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#:~:text=If%20quoted,)
+     2. The local-part and the domain are limited to a certain number of octets. With
+        unicode storing a single character in one byte, each octet is equivalent to
+        a character. Hence, we can just check the length of the string.
+    Checks for the local-part:
+     3. The local-part may contain: upper and lowercase latin letters, digits 0 to 9,
+        and printable characters (!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~)
+     4. The local-part may also contain a "." in any place that is not the first or
+        last character, and may not have more than one "." consecutively.
+
+    Checks for the domain:
+     5. The domain may contain: upper and lowercase latin letters and digits 0 to 9
+     6. Hyphen "-", provided that it is not the first or last character
+     7. The domain may also contain a "." in any place that is not the first or
+        last character, and may not have more than one "." consecutively.
