-        # Inside it is an OR of two paths:
-        #
-        #  - Either we have a quoted value, or
-        #  - We don't have a quoted value.
-        #
-        # In the quoted path, we match the start and end quote (and therefore, the
-        # user running against this rule MUST specify quotes in the variable value
-        # if necessary!). Then we match (in between these quotes) any (potentially
-        # empty) group of character that:
-        #
-        #  - Is an escaped double quote,
-        #  - Is an escaped backslash,
-        #  - Or isn't one of those characters.
-        #
-        # Finally, we match on \B: since we know " is not a word character,
-        # it'll only match if the following character is also not a word
-        # character. This ensures we don't have a string such as "quoted"d, which
-        # would (presumably) be invalid in a sudoers entry.
-        #
-        # In the non-quoted path, we strictly match the value. However, we have a
-        # few more escaped characters to deal with. Thus we match any (potentially
-        # empty) group of characters that:
-        #
-        #  - Is an escaped comma,
-        #  - Is an escaped double quote,
-        #  - Is an escaped space (per `man sudoers`, this needs escaping without
-        #    double quotes),
-        #  - Is an escaped backslash,
-        #  - Or isn't one of those characters.
-        #
-        # Finally, we check for regular word boundary (with \b), ensuring the
-        # next character isn't yet another word character.
