Add ability to init special characters

[arturmkr]

Problem: Currently, special characters are hardcoded.

Solution: It would be great if it would be possible to init / set / reload special characters.

Code, where special characters are used:

    public String password(int minimumLength, int maximumLength, boolean includeUppercase, boolean includeSpecial, boolean includeDigit) {
        if (includeSpecial) {
            char[] password = faker.lorem().characters(minimumLength, maximumLength, includeUppercase, includeDigit).toCharArray();
            char[] special = new char[]{'!', '@', '#', '$', '%', '^', '&', '*'};
            for (int i = 0; i < faker.random().nextInt(minimumLength); i++) {
                password[faker.random().nextInt(password.length)] = special[faker.random().nextInt(special.length)];
            }
            return new String(password);
        } else {
            return faker.lorem().characters(minimumLength, maximumLength, includeUppercase, includeDigit);
        }
    }

Do you mean that it should provide an interface to let user set the desired special letters?

I would be happy to volunteer to work on this feature in Oct/Nov for an academic project.
