I am not sure adding a variable would be good is because this

In my use case, for instance, I would much rather generate with
symbols. The problem is, certain websites do not allow entering special
characters as their passwords (I know, right??)
So what I'll do is generate non-symbol passwords only for relevant
websites. By default, I will generate with symbols, and otherwise, I
will generate without.
Adding a variable would make sense if this is a one-time choice, but I
think it's a choice to make with each password.
I see your point, and I agree this might come in handy in the situation
that you have described.
I have added your command.
Apart of this, I am worry that these two generate commands allow the
overwrite of a stored password.
Maybe we should consider in the future adding an option
password-store-force or the like, default to nil,
to prevent accidental overwrites. Patches are welcome.
