Redis requires the length of native type names to be exactly 9 characters?

Redis requires the length of native type names to be exactly 9 characters. <= max_type_name_len like 12, but = 9. why? 🤔

[oranagra]

It uses a 64 bit integer (8 bytes) to store the type name (alphanumeric) and the encver number.

@oranagra thank you for your answer~ if RedisType name like AAAA.BBBB , AAAABBBB. length is 9; but Error: created data type is null~

@weedge I believe that this should be address with a better and safer rust API. Rust give us the tools to enforce such constrains on compile time so the user can not make mistakes.
