* assert 31 == sheet.getSheetName().length();
* assert "My very long sheet name which i" == sheet.getSheetName();

* - 0x0000
* - 0x0003
* - colon (:)
* - backslash (\)
* - asterisk (*)
* - question mark (?)
* - forward slash (/)

* The string MUST NOT begin or end with the single quote (') character.
