Add option to generate strict VIN (exclusive characters I, O and Q) #421

Closed skwasjer closed 8 months ago

skwasjer commented 2 years ago

Adds an optional boolean to opt-in to generating a VIN using a more strict characterset.

In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States standardized the format.[1] It required all on-road vehicles sold to contain a 17-character VIN, which does not include the letters O (o), I (i), and Q (q) (to avoid confusion with numerals 0, 1, and 9).

Fixes #449

Any ETA on this? :)

ps: I could also remove the bool argument and just make this the default behavior if so desired.

There's also a bug I found whilst working on this, see #431
