 * I hate to ask stupid questions, and I pray this isn’t one… Regardless, I am trying
   to hook the random_password filter in the pluggable wp_generate_password function.
   I spent a good long time trying to figure this out, and recently realized what
   I thought was my problem. I was adding the filter in the constructor of my plugin,
   which occurs before wp_generate_password exists. Now, as far as I know, you could
   add a filter for anything at anytime, and it only matters what’s hung on that
   hook when the apply_filter function is run. Well, better safe then sorry I say,
   so I added a plugins_loaded hook and moved my random_password in there so that
   my hook would safely be defined after pluggable was loaded. Still no dice! I’m
   losing my mind! Can anyone assist?
