The format function is indeed very useful - but I don't think it can be used to solve the particular problem of adding spaces after a string to fill it out to a specified length.

Or at least - when I was looking at the problem the other day, one of the alternatives I considered was "format", but I couldn't see a way to use it to solve this problem :-)

It would work if the "incantation" argument of format() would accept a variable name, but I can't find a way to make it do that . . .
