Comment:

 We copied the module, too, just to attach an arbitrary size to strings for
 LaTeX with proportional fonts and ligatures. So rather than padding a
 string I would rather attach any size to the given input string as is.
 (Padding can be added be the user). I don't see a use case for negative
 sizes, though, so these may be excluded (to ensure other invariants).
