* callExtension is the method that is used by Arma2NET to pass information between itself and Arma2
* callExtension has a size limit for the max amount of data that can be passed:
* http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Extensions#A_few_technical_considerations
* The limit is 16 Kilobytes (for Arma 2 beta 97299)
* One character = one byte
* The Wiki notes that this size limit could change through future patches.
* https://dev-heaven.net/issues/25915
*
* Arma2NET has a long output addin method that does the following:
* "From version 1.5, Arma2NET supports plugins requiring the maximum result size as an argument to the Run method.
* You can use this to ensure that a plugin won't return a result that is too long for Arma 2 to handle."
*
* In Arma2NET, 16383 characters is the limit
* The last character is reserved for null
