+	# There is no such thing as "Markdown".
+	# The closest thing you have to any sort of standard is https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
+	# but everybody and their mother adds their own "extensions"/"flavor", and sometimes even
+	# change how formatting works compared to the Daring Fireball/John Gruber spec (the original creator of the "syntax").
+	# Ergo "Markdown" inherently has no meaning.
+	# It's one of the worst formatting languages out there - just because it's popular doesn't mean it's good.
+	#
+	# If you're writing docs, you should stick to one of these which have defined, canonical, standardized
+	# syntax:
+	# 	* AsciiDoc/AsciiDoctor
+	# 		* Supports much more extensive formatting than any Markdown flavor I've seen
+	# 		* Source/raw/unrendered still *quite* readable by human eyes
+	# 		* Somewhat limited parsers/renderers
+	# 		* https://asciidoc.org/
+	# 		* https://asciidoctor.org/
+	# 	* DocBook
+	# 		* Supports even more extensive and flexible but exact formatting
+	# 		* Great for publishing, though - especially if you need control over formatting/layout
+	# 		* XML-based
+	# 		* Harder to read in plaintext, but fairly doable (XML lends to decent mental rendering)
+	# 		* Very wide support for parsing/rendering
+	# 		* https://docbook.org/
+	#	* LaTex
+	#		* Allows for *very* extensive domain-specific ligature/representation (very common in mathematic/scientific literature)
+	#		* But nigh unreadable by human eyes unless you've rather familiar with it
+	#		* Parsing/rendering support about on-par with DocBook
+	#		* https://www.latex-project.org/

+IsFqdn returns a boolean indicating if s is an FQDN that strictly adheres to RFC format requirements.

+
+It will return false for wildcard records (see [IsFqdnWildcard]).
+
+s may or may not end in a period (the root zone; "absolute" FQDNs) (0x00 in wire format).
+
+# TLDs
+
+Because valid TLDs are fairly dynamic and can change frequently,
+validation is *not* performed against the TLD itself.
+This only ensures that s has a TLD label conforming to the character rules in the referenced RFCs.
+See [golang.org/x/net/publicsuffix] if precise TLD validation is required (though true TLD validation generally
+requires fetching the current TLD lists from IANA at runtime like [github.com/bombsimon/tld-validator]).
+
+# Special RFC-Defined Accommodations
+
+RFC 2181 [§ 11] specifies that site-local DNS software may accommodate non-RFC-conforming rules.
+This function may and likely will return false for these site-local deviations.
+The Lookup* functions/mthods in [net] should be used to validate in these casts
+if that accommodation is necessary.
+
+Note that underscores are not valid for "true" FQDNs as they are only valid for e.g. SRV record names,
+TXT records, etc. - not A/AAAA/CNAME, etc. - see RFC 8553 for details.
+
+See the following functions for allowing additional syntax/rule validation
+that have record-type-specific accommodations made:
+
+	* [IsFqdnDefinedTxt]
+	* [IsFqdnNsec3]
+	* [IsFqdnSrv]
+	* [IsFqdnWildcard]
+
+# RFC Coverage
+
+This function should conform properly to:
+
+	* RFC 952
+	* RFC 1034 and RFC 1035
+	* RFC 1123
+	* RFC 2181 (selectively, see above)
+
+preferring the most up-to-date rules where relevant (e.g. labels may start with digits, as per RFC 1123).
+It enforces/checks label and overall length limits as defined by RFC.
+
+# IDN(A) and Punycode
+
+Note that it expects the ASCII-only/presentation form of a record name and
+will not perform any IDN/IDNA nor Punycode translation.
+If a caller anticipates FQDNs in their localized format,
+the caller must perform translation first
+(via e.g. [gitlab.com/golang-commonmark/puny], [golang.org/x/net/idna], etc.).
+
+To reiterate, IDN/IDNA:
+
+	* RFC 3490
+	* RFC 5890
+	* RFC 5891
+	* RFC 5892

+# Microsoft GUID Shenanigans
+
+The following functions are provided to deal with [Microsoft's incompetence]:
+
+	* [DetectMsGuid] (a confidence'd determination if a UUID is a Microsoft GUID or not)
+	* [IsFlippedEndian] for flipped-endian [uuid.UUID] comparison (e.g. a is the Microsoft-flipped-endian version of b)
+	* [IsMsGuid] (wraps [DetectMsGuid] and returns true if confidence is reasonably strong that it's a Microsoft GUID)
+	* [IsRfc] (the inverse of IsMsGuid, but also checks for strict RFC compliance and returns which RFC)
+	* [MsGuidToUuid] (explicitly convert/ensure a GUID/UUID is likely a UUID)
+	* [ToggleUuidMsGuid] (blindly flip the endianness of selected byte ranges for MS GUID <-> UUID conversion)
+	* [UuidToMsGuid] (explicitly convert/ensure a GUID/UUID is likely an MS GUID)
+
+Microsoft, in their typical insanity, uses a proprietary UUID format (usually referred to as the "Microsoft GUID Format"
+or "Mixed-Endian Format").
+
+Normally for, for example a UUIDv4, it's structured as thus per RFC 9562 [§ 5.4] (which obsoletes RFC 4122 [§ 4.4]):
+
+	       A               B               C               D                E
+	HEX(BE(uint32))-HEX(BE(uint16))-HEX(BE(uint16))-HEX(BE(<uint16>), BE(<6 bytes>))
+
+(where <BE> is big-endian packing).
+
+However, thanks to Microsoft we can't have nice things. They decided to completely ignore the standard, and
+instead keep D/E as big-endian *but use little-endian* for A through C inclusive:
+
+	       A               B               C               D                E
+	HEX(LE(uint32))-HEX(LE(uint16))-HEX(LE(uint16))-HEX(BE(<uint16>), BE(<6 bytes>))
+
+"Surely that had SOME reason to do that," you may say to yourself, "they wouldn't make some arbitrary formatting
+change from a standard just because."
+
+You would be wrong. To my knowledge, they have never provided any technological justfification to this insanity,
+and now it's infected its way into a slew of other technologies they've had their grubby little hands involved in
+(e.g. UEFI). And it's of course too late to change.
+
+So anyways here's a library to make dealing with Microsoft's hubris a little easier.
+
+# Validation/Verification
+
+Aside from trying to address Microsoft silliness, there are some additional functions:
+
+	* [Equal] for [uuid.UUID] comparison
+	* [IsMaxUUID] (if a given [uuid.UUID] is an RFC 9562 [§ 5.10] UUID)
+	* [IsNilUUID] (if a given [uuid.UUID] is an RFC 9562 [§ 5.9] UUID)
+	* [IsValid] (If an RFC can be considered safely conformant to RFC spec)
+
+# Future Incorporation/Deprecation/Obsolescence
+
+Worth keeping an eye on are:
+
+	* https://github.com/google/uuid/pull/192
+	* https://github.com/golang/go/issues/62026
+	* https://github.com/golang/go/issues/76319
+		(generally it's a bad idea for an API addition overall, but some good ideas were raised)
+
+Some of these additions may deprecate/obsolete components of this package.
+I'll try to keep them around but mark as deprecated as they are (if they are),
+but I make no concrete promises - I hate making new major releases in Go's
+[silly module architecture] even more than I do keeping old deprecated code around.
+So caveat emptor.

+DetectMsGuid tries to guess if a given [uuid.UUID] is actually a Microsoft GUID or not.
+
+Note that there are technically *two* types of Microsoft GUIDs:
+
+	* One is predictable, and defined in RFC 9562 [§ 4.2] as a known variant.
+		Detecting this is very easy and (assuming an RFC-compliant UUID is originally passed) is detectable with 100% confidence.
+		It's also legacy, and Microsoft no longer uses this format. Because they are insane and enjoy the suffering of others.
+	* The other, MODERN Microsoft GUID currently in use is the endianness-flipped version (see [ToggleUuidMsGuid]).
+		This is impossible to 100% determine, but analysis can get *pretty* close.
+
+cs is a confidence scoring. As more logic is added, it *is* mathematically possible
+(though unlikely) that cs == 0, so the caller is then responsible for making further
+guesswork based on contextual analysis ("Did I get this UUID/GUID from an Active Directory attribute?"
+"Is it a SID constant?" etc.).
+
+A score > 0 indicates a confidence leaning towards the provided UUID/GUID being a Microsoft GUID.
+A score < 0 indicates a confidence leaning towards the provided UUID/GUID *not* being a Microsoft GUID.
+Note that a score of < 0 does not necessarily indicate it is a *proper, standard RFC-compliant UUID*,
+simply that it is likely NOT a Microsoft GUID. [IsRfc] will be of further help in these cases.
+
+csFlip indicates a score for the [ToggleUuidMsGuid]-flipped version of u.
+It follows the same rules for thresholds and such as cs, but may be awarded different confidence levels
+internally due to different chances of false positives.
+If both cs and csFlip are > 0 but csFlip > cs, it is better to assume that u is *not* in the flipped-endian format
+but *is* a Microsoft GUID (in other words, it is likely that u has *already been flipped* to proper/consistent endianness
+instead of being a mixed-endian GUID).
+
+In some cases where flipped-endianness does not matter (e.g. [IsNilUUID], [IsMaxUUID]),
+cs and csFlip will be equal.
+
+*Randomly-generated* GUIDs on Windows Server 2000-family and up are almost always UUIDv4.
+Pre-Windows Server 2000 family *OR* any *statically-defined* GUIDs (schemaIDGUID, rightsGUID, CLSID constants, etc.)
+are all over the place - TYPICALLY UUIDv1, but it's nothing predictable enough to be useful in definitive classification.
+COM interfaces are all OVER the place in UUID version, but usually *not* UUIDv4.
+
+A target/expected UUID version can be provided via tgtVer. To disable version analysis, use 0 (or 0x00, etc.).
+It is *highly* recommended to provide a tgtVer if it is known; it can significantly boost confidence in the correct direction.
+A warning, though - if a tgtVer IS specified but is wrong (e.g. a UUIDv1 was passed in but tgtVer was specified as 4 for UUIDv4),
+it can *negatively* affect confidence accuracy.
+Thus if you aren't ABSOLUTELY certain of the target UUID version, it's better to use 0/0x00 to disable the check.
+Providing a target version can be key to breaking some "ties" (e.g. both cs and csFlip are equal).
+For example, the given RFC-compliant UUIDv4:
+
+	8d8e35ae-58d2-4d28-b09d-ffffffffffff
+
+when flipped evaluates to an RFC-compliant UUIDv2:
+
+	ae358e8d-d258-284d-b09d-ffffffffffff
+
+and in this case, cs and csFlip will both end up as 0.
+Providing a tgtVer of 4 shifts this to a proper "tie-breaker" of cs == -3 and csFlip == 0.
+Similarly, the endian-flipped UUIDv4 evaluates as a UUIDv2:
+
+	9856ea36-c2ca-2347-af0c-3b42f76c9eca
+
+from the original unflipped UUIDv4:
+
+	36ea5698-cac2-4723-af0c-3b42f76c9eca
+
+which results in a cs == 1 and csFlip == 0 - not very high confidence (but at least a correct and non-zero lean).
+Providing a tgtVer == 4 changes this to cs == 7 and csFlip == 0, which is *much* more decisive.
+
+UUIDs/GUIDs found to be strictly RFC-conforming (via [IsRfc], which returns false for Microsoft GUIDs)
+are *heavily* weighted negatively in their respective scoring forms.
+
+Confidence levels can be generally considered as the following:
+
+	* cs >= 7: Likely Microsoft GUID (mixed-endian)
+	* cs >= 4: Likely Microsoft GUID
+	* 0 < cs < 4: Leans Microsoft GUID, but untrusted/ambiguous
+	* cs == 0: Entirely and completely ambiguous/indeterminate
+	* -4 < cs < 0: Leans UUID/non-Microsoft GUID but untrusted/ambiguous
+	* cs <= -5: Likely UUID/not Microsoft GUID
+	* csFlip >= cs && csFlip >= 4: u is likely a pre-flipped (ToggleUuidMsGuid'd) Microsoft GUID
+					(i.e. u is likely directly from a Microsoft API/ data source
+					and no normalization has occurred yet)
