Major version changes (v3) about email-validate-hs HOT 4 OPEN

8c6e0c7 adds the isemail test-suite.

Another thing to think about: I should be testing the canonicalized versions of email addresses to ensure the normal form is as expected. (The isemail suite does not do this.)

from email-validate-hs.

Idea: use DataKinds for the options type that controls what to allow in the email address.

This way we have type EmailAddress = EmailAddress' SaneParseOptions and you can't accidentally mix email addresses parsed with different levels of flexibility.

Also: add a RestrictedEmailAddress for "Emails as they supported by most major providers".

Edit: didn't use DataKinds because that forces it onto the consumer. Instead we have a typeclass ParseOptions which supplies the configuration. This provides the extra safety without any extra burden on consumers.

@Porges Don't you know my IPv6Addr package? It should give all you need about IPv6 addresses. If not, feel free to contact me.

@MichelBoucey I didn't come across it when I was looking. It looks like it could be useful. I'll stick with ip for now until I get everything working and then have a better look.

One thing that might be required is: in order to pass the test-suite, in some situations I have to be able to parse IPv4-only addresses and not accept IPv6 ones. I'm not sure if this is possible with your current API (except if I parse and then check the result to see if it is IPv4-compatible).
