string-padprocedure
string-pad-rightprocedure

Build a string of length len comprised of s padded on the left (right) by as many occurrences of the character char as needed. If s has more than len chars, it is truncated on the left (right) to length len. Char defaults to #\space.

If lenend-start, the returned value is allowed to share storage with s, or be exactly s (if len = end-start).
