There is already a function: 'align' :)

   : (pad 5 3)
   -> "3"
   : (align 5 3)
   -> "3"

Padding numbers with space

[C K Kashyap]

Hi,
I noticed that "pad" pads number with 0 prefix. What would be a good way to
use space instead?

I was about to copy the definition of pad (which is so nice to look at)
from lib/misc and edit it but was wondering if a "temporary patching" (if
that is a thing) would be better?
