Rule checks that the type name should only contain alphanumeric characters, start with an uppercase character and span between min-length and max-length characters in length.

The rule can be configured using fields min-length and max-length. By default it's min-length = 3 and max-length = 40. You can also configure type name exceptions with excluded option.
