Why is the channel name length limited to 15 characters?  #8312

MNE automatically truncates the channel name length to 15 characters:


<ipython-input-68-1c3debadf790>:1: RuntimeWarning: 4 channel names are too long, have been truncated to 15 characters:
['LFP_BS_STN_R_234', 'LFP_BS_STN_R_567', 'LFP_BS_STN_L_234', 'LFP_BS_STN_L_567']
  info = mne.create_info(ch_labels, fsample, ch_types='ecog')

In the context of clinical neurophysiology it becomes very handy to keep information like

  1. the cortical location
  2. electrode manufacturer
  3. hemisphere

inside of the channel name.

Is there a reason for limiting the length?
