Is that 32 bytes which includes the terminating null character
(where there is a terminating null character), or 32 characters
without counting the terminating null?  I have no preference,
it's just a detail which is nice to state explicitly, in case
different people make different assumptions.

(same question for 16 and 48 byte limits...)
