I think you misunderstood Kevin. he was bikeshedding the name of the
environment variable, not its existence. and I agree,
"PASSWORD_STORE_LENGTH" is a fine name,
"PASSWORD_STORE_DEFAULT_LENGTH" is needlessly cumbersome.
(btw, I typically use 12, or 16 without symbols. 15 seems a
reasonable default for me.)
