Comment (by gwilson):

 Yes, I understand that you can use anything for the display name.  My
 point was simply that one might not always want to allow display names, as
 is the case with every use of the `EmailField` in code I've written.  I do
 think that allowing for display names would be a welcome feature, I just
 think that the developer should be able to specify which format is
 allowable since each has its valid use cases.  I also think that separate
 fields (i.e. `EmailField` and `EmailWithDisplayNameField`) would be better
 than adding an option to the existing `EmailField` (i.e. `email =
 EmailField(allow_display_name=True)`) or changing the current behavior of
 `EmailField` without allowing for the address-only form of entry.
