I have a (not urgent) request for a function in NIL
and NIL simulator: called "n-spaces", or somesuch. Just
same thing as make-string, but filled with spaces instead
of NULs. . . .
This oversight in the definition of MAKE-STRING has been corrected
in version number 140 -- the second arg, when supplied, specifies
the character to use as the repeated component. NIL;NEWFUN >
mentions this, but the PDP10 verion of MAKE-STRING has, until now,
been limited. Since the STRING-FILL function on the PDP10 is
optimal, I used it, rather than some other word-at-a-time filler.
