 I see the point, but at the same time doing -1 looks like doing
 something not technically correct.  So as a compromise I've revised
 the message as follows:
 {{{#!cpp
         isc_throw(CharStringTooLong, "character-string is too long: " <<
                   (result.size() - 1) << "(+1) characters");
 }}}

 > Anyway, this is minor, so if you agree or not, please merge afterwards.

 and, assuming details on this point isn't a blocking issue, I merged
 the branch.  Now closing the ticket.
