 We attempted to add a post type the other day which was more than 20
 characters, this resulted in the post type not being registered as per
 documentation:
 https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type

 Limit is var char 20.

 There are scenarios where you want to use a unique prefix and this
 combined with a descriptive name of the post type exceeds 20 characters.
