Should padding cut input at specified length?

[andjar]

Hi!

I am not an experienced programmer, so the suggestion may possibly break the expected behavior, but after reading the documentation

The pad operator requires at least one parameter which specifies the desired length of the input titles

I was expecting the pad operator to return values of exactly the provided length, i.e. cutting titles that were too long as well as padding those that are too short. What do you think? The suffixes prefix and suffix could determine which end to cut. Does it make sense to use pad as a very simple substring operator?
