    //      note 1: Mirrors Swift's padding(toLength:withPad:startingAt:) behavior for truncation and pad-fill.
    //   example 1: padding('abc', 8, 'xy', 0)
    //   returns 1: 'abcxyxyx'
    //   example 2: padding('abcdef', 4, 'xy', 0)
    //   returns 2: 'abcd'
    //   example 3: padding('go', 7, '123', 1)
    //   returns 3: 'go23123'
