Synopsis:
$pad(<length> <char> <text>)
Technical:
This function pads the end of <text> with <char> until it is <length>
characters long. If <text> is longer than <length>, nothing is done.
Practical:
This function is especially useful for forcing strings to a minimum
length, possibly for a script that hooks and displays a /names reply.
Returns:
<text> padded with a number of <char>s until it's length is <length>
Examples:
$pad(8 ! test) returns "test!!!!!"
