As you have shown, the fill is easy enough to achieve. So there -
since we have similar operations we might as well be some differences
between them.

That said, note that the padding computational model can be described like this:

1) break the arguments into cells
2) apply verb to the relevant cells
3) assemble the result into a an array, padding if necessary

The length error, here, happens at "step" 2.

Does that help?

Thanks,
