I don’t see any reason why this should added. Its use-case is quite a niche, which can be easily solved by calling substr_replace together with str_repeat. If you want to go on with your idea, the string parameter of this function should have the SensitiveParameter attribute or else it may end up in a backtrace. Regards, Jordi
