This trivial patch allows a little bit longer layer names (I think the maximum could easily be 128 or 256 but I chose to be very conservative to maximize the probability of you accepting the change).
The reasoning for allowing longer names is that it is conceivable that someone could try to use names more than 32 - 2 letters long (I already personally did that, wasn't even joking) (issue #558)
Furthermore, if someone uses their non-english native language with non-ASCII characters, 32 bytes is even more restrictive (32 bytes can hold even fewer than 32 longer-than-1-byte UTF-8 characters)
