// We return new regexes everytime as opposed to using a constant regex because
// regexes with the global flag maintain internal iterators that can cause problems:

// You really can't win them all with urls too (unless a 500 character regex that adheres

//
// This was initially based off of the one angular uses for its linky
// (https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/src/ngSanitize/filter/linky.js)...
// but then it evovled into its own thing to support capturing groups for filtering the
// hostname and other technically valid urls.
//
// Capturing groups:
// 1. URL scheme
// 2. URL without scheme
// 3. Host name
// 4. Path
// 5. Fragment
//
// Passes most tests of https://mathiasbynens.be/demo/url-regex, but provides a few false
// positives for some tests that are too strict (like `foo.com`). There are a few other
// false positives, such as `http://www.foo.bar./` but c'mon, that one's not my fault.
// I'd argue we would want to match that as a link anyway.
//
// Note: This also catches emails, as otherwise it would match the `ascribe.io` in `hi@ascribe.io`,
// producing (what I think is) more surprising behaviour than the alternative.
