Research direction
Start by locating the existing password example mentioned in the issue and read how it currently generates strings. Then review the surrounding public random APIs before deciding how the proposed generic function and its default alphabet should fit. Done means an agreed library API with coverage for the requested alphabet behavior, but the issue does not name files or tests.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
A make password example is available which is nice. I think turning the example into an actual, more generic, library function might be even nicer. How about make_random_string(size_t, string_view alphabet), perhaps with alphabet defaulting to 0-9, A-Z, a-z?
