Comment:

 Depending on how this is being used, it may be considered a backward
 compatibility break if email addresses can't be used as usernames anymore.
 It may therefore be preferable to keep the `@` as an allowed character,
 but have a filter where someone could provide allowed characters and
 exclude `@` if they wish.

 Adding `2nd-opinion` to gather some additional thoughts on whether this
 should be considered a backward compatibility break, and whether that's
 ok, or if we should let the user decide if they want to change the status
 quo.
