	The `distinguishable` set contains only uppercase characters that are not easily confused: `CDEHKMPRTUWXY012458`. It can be useful if you need to print out a short string that you'd like users to read and type back in with minimal errors. For example, reading a code off of a screen that needs to be typed into a phone to connect two devices.

	The `ascii-printable` set contains all [printable ASCII characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters): ``!"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~`` Useful for generating passwords where all possible ASCII characters should be used.

	The `alphanumeric` set contains uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and digits: `ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789`. Useful for generating [nonce](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLOrForeignElement/nonce) values.

	@example
	```
	cryptoRandomString({length: 10});
	//=> '87fc70e2b9'

	cryptoRandomString({length: 10, type: 'base64'});
	//=> 'mhsX7xmIv/'

/**
Asynchronously generate a [cryptographically strong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_cryptography) random string.

For most use-cases, there's really no good reason to use this async version. From the Node.js docs:

> The `crypto.randomBytes()` method will not complete until there is sufficient entropy available. This should normally never take longer than a few milliseconds. The only time when generating the random bytes may conceivably block for a longer period of time is right after boot, when the whole system is still low on entropy.

In general, anything async comes with some overhead on it's own.

@returns A promise which resolves to a randomized string.

@example
```
import {cryptoRandomStringAsync} from 'crypto-random-string';

await cryptoRandomStringAsync({length: 10});
//=> '2cf05d94db'
```
