Thanks for the suggestion.

There is a bit of overlap with RandomStringGenerator#filteredBy.

With some work you can already archive this today, e.g.

{code}
Set<Integer> characters = Stream.of('a', 'b', '0').map(i -> (int) i).collect(Collectors.toSet());
String str = new RandomStringGenerator.Builder().filteredBy(i -> characters.contains(i)).build().generate(5);{code}

>  implement a "selectFrom" feature:
>   RandomStringGenerator gen = new RandomStringGenerator.Builder()
>     .selectFrom(charArray)
>     .build();
> so we can pass a list of valid characters
