+     * The length Statement
+     *
+     * The "length" statement, which is an optional sub-statement to the
+     * "type" statement, takes as an argument a length expression string.
+     * It is used to restrict the built-in type "string", or types derived
+     * from "string".
+     * A "length" statement restricts the number of unicode characters in
+     * the string.
+     * A length range consists of an explicit value, or a lower bound, two
+     * consecutive dots "..", and an upper bound.  Multiple values or ranges
+     * can be given, separated by "|".  Length-restricting values MUST NOT
+     * be negative.  If multiple values or ranges are given, they all MUST
+     * be disjoint and MUST be in ascending order.  If a length restriction
+     * is applied to an already length-restricted type, the new restriction
+     * MUST be equal or more limiting, that is, raising the lower bounds,
+     * reducing the upper bounds, removing explicit length values or ranges,
+     * or splitting ranges into multiple ranges with intermediate gaps.  A
+     * length value is a non-negative integer, or one of the special values
+     * "min" or "max". "min" and "max" mean the minimum and maximum length
+     * accepted for the type being restricted, respectively.  An
+     * implementation is not required to support a length value larger than
+     * 18446744073709551615.
