I remember we dabbled at this last year, sometime, but I don't recall
if we came up with a working edit.

I have

lhsc   <A | N | "_" | "-" | "+" | "%"
lhs    <{lhsc}
rhsc   <lhsc
rhs    <{rhsc} "." {*}
email  <lhs "@" rhs

But rhs, which should not match "baylink.", unless I misunderstand the
edit language rather badly after 20 years... does.

{matches} are greedy, I think, and that's fine, but rhsc doesn't
*match* a dot.  What am I missing, folks?

Cheers,
