Alphanumeric, but for passphrases

[qrnch-jan]

I'm generating random strings using:

      let r = rand::thread_rng()
        .sample_iter(&Alphanumeric)
        .take(32)
        .collect::<String>();

This works fine, but I recently had to generate passphrases and print them out to paper. It would have been nice to have an alternative to Alphanumeric for generating passphrases that avoids known-to-be-troublesome-in-printed-passphrases characters, like: 1, l, I and 0, O.

See #995 and #942.

Sorry for closing this abruptly, but rand isn't really a password-generating lib, and your "solution" is perhaps not as widely applicable as you think. If you really want to do that, I suggest you just roll your own version of Alphanumeric, it shouldn't be hard.
