Subject: ljust, rjust...

Just thought I would run these ideas by everyone:

How about allowing `ljust' and `rjust' take an additional parameter (which
defaults to the string " ") which specifies what it justifies with?

  15.to_s.rjust(5)         #  -->  "   15"
  15.to_s.rjust(5,'0')     #  -->  "00015"
  15.to_s.rjust(5,'blue')  #  -->  "blu15"

What do you think?  (Mostly, I just want to pad numbers with leading zeros.
Yes, of course I can change `rjust' myself, yadda-yadda... but then there's
that "you really shouldn't modify the core classes" thing.  Doesn't seem
quire right, does it?)
