lpad, rpad and cpad would seem to be good candidates to be unified in a pad function.
There are a lot of such string manipulation functions that feel like they should be moved from Base to a string manipulation package.
I don't see any benefit in moving short, pure, julia code that is generally useful to a package.
I could see us making an official Strings module that would still be apart of Base/StdLib, but yeah, a lot of these functions are usually expected to be in the "default" language.
We could always just use https://api.left-pad.io/
I don't think this will be moved out of this repo. Perhaps to a String stdlib as part of https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/25416
