Yet another password generator!

Not because the world needed it, but for me to learn about the rust ecosystem. I have some ideas to improve it in the future, but having learned something about rust tooling, it's already done its job for me.

Implemented functionality

• generating random passwords from characters
  • configurable character set, length and amount of passwords

Possible future functionality (unlikely)

• generating random passwords from syllables
  • allowed syllables read from file
  • configurable intercalation with special chars
  • configurable capitalization rules
• generating random passphrases from words
  • basically the same as from syllables

Used tooling/crates (+ notes)

• testing and documentation with cargo
  • test coverage with grcov
    • source-based coverage appears bugged (e.g. comments marked as missing coverage)
• automation using cargo-make
  • seems a bit clunky when compared to GNU's make, ymmv.
• source tracking with git and hub (obviously...)
• publishing to crates.io with cargo (no shit, Sherlock!)

Possible future tooling (somewhat likely)

• benchmarking with cargo
  • profiling with inferno and flamegraph
• integration tests for the binary
• publish docs (docs.rs?)
• link git repo
