Feature Request: GeneratorRecipe for Memorable Passwords

The 1Password app's "Memorable Password" generating options.

Currently in the API options for 1P Connect there is an ability to specify a "GeneratorRecipe" when creating a password for a record: https://developer.1password.com/docs/connect/api-reference/#item-generatorrecipe-object 

This is great for super-high-entropy random passwords but in some instances we would like to have the ability to specify that the generator create a "Memorable Password", as can be done in the 1P apps:

Ideally this would then allow for specifying criteria similar to: 

"generate": true, "memorableRecipe": { "memorableRequirements": [ "HYPHENS", "CAPITALIZE", "FULLWORDS" ], "words": 4 }

 While this isn't needed all the time as the default 'generate' option is suitable in most scenarios, this would provide some extra flexibility.

PS - In the same vein, it would nice to have this capability for the CLI's '--generate-password' option as well!! https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/item-create/#create-an-item

Hmm, not sure why this site is unable to display my embedded links, I swear I know how to make text link to a URL… and it displays correctly in edit mode lol ⤵️

Ah well, can't even edit to try to fix without getting a different error when publishing the edit, so I guess I will just continue to look like a fellow who doesn't know how HTML works 😵‍💫
