Allowing really long collection names in MDB

I was trying to think of test cases for implications of allowing collection names to have a length filling the be 16Mb boundary on a meta document and ascii-art came to mind.

To make a new collection from an image:

npm i -g ascii-art; 
ascii-art image -B 32 -a solid ~/Desktop/IMG_0099.jpg > arlo.ascii; 
export ARLO_ASCII=`cat arlo.ascii`;
mongo --eval "db.createCollection(\`$ARLO_ASCII\`)";

Looping means show collections now works as an excellent ascii photo gallery:
