str_pad pad the input string even when the length of the pad string
cannot be evenly dived into the length of the input stirng +
pad_length.

This is not necessarily a bug but the behaviour should be documented.
I.e. in some cases the user might want the string be padded only with
*full-length* pad strings, and not truncated pad strings. 

The following code illustrates:

echo str_pad("1", 2, "AB");

OUPUT:

1A

The output could be viewed as "incorrect" since pad_str was aksed to
pad with "AB", not to pad with "A".

Thanks!
