/**
* Generates random {@link String}s.
*
* Caveat: Instances of {@link Random}, upon which the implementation of this
* class relies, are not cryptographically secure.
*
* RandomStringUtils is intended for simple use cases. For more advanced
* use cases consider using Apache Commons Text's
*
* RandomStringGenerator instead.
*
* The Apache Commons project provides
* Commons RNG dedicated to pseudo-random number generation, that may be
* a better choice for applications with more stringent requirements
* (performance and/or correctness).
*
* Note that private high surrogate characters are ignored.
* These are Unicode characters that fall between the values 56192 (db80)
* and 56319 (dbff) as we don't know how to handle them.
* High and low surrogates are correctly dealt with - that is if a
* high surrogate is randomly chosen, 55296 (d800) to 56191 (db7f)
* then it is followed by a low surrogate. If a low surrogate is chosen,
* 56320 (dc00) to 57343 (dfff) then it is placed after a randomly
* chosen high surrogate.
