Extension for Diceware-style mnemonic passphrases

Hello everyone,

I wrote a small pass extension for generating mnemonic passphrases in 
lieu of the standard generated passwords, since I couldn't find an 
existing solution when I searched online.  It uses a customizable 
Diceware wordlist, like the ones provided by the EFF:

    https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-passphrases

The length of the passphrase in words and the character(s) used to 
separate each word can be specified.

The extension is available here:

    https://gitlab.com/entrez/pass-words

I haven't made a pass extension before and mostly put this together for 
my own use, so please let me know if there are serious problems with it 
- -- especially w/r/t the security of password generation.  It uses 
/dev/urandom to generate a random number, modulo the number of lines in 
the wordlist, to select each word when building the passphrase.
