 We recommend the following guideline for stream, consumer, and account names:
 
 * Alphanumeric values are recommended.

-* Spaces, tabs, period \(`.`\), greater than \(`>`\) or asterix \(`*`\) are prohibited.

-stream name, and consumer name, so a generally safe approach would be to keep names
-under 32 characters.
