I found ~50 occurrences of Fill() using "git grep", so it might be worth to add a Fill() method to OUString. Maybe the name of the new method could be a bit more verbose e.g. fillWithChar(). Probably I would have to add something similar to "OUString fillWithChar(sal_uInt32 nNumber,<code> <big>sal_Unicode cChar=' '</big></code>)" to ustring.hxx and something like rtl_ustr_fillWithChar() to ustring.c<code> </code>Obviously I need some assistance...any hint is welcome.
