    I see! Thank you very much!

    Holy smokes... I had no idea... Though, I still abhor the "AI" involved, the NPM package itself is a dear nonsense... There's dear String.padStart in the most of JavaScript engines!

    That feature wouldn't come to JavaScript for another couple of years if I recall correctly. There was a "legit" use case for leftpad... Crazy as it may be.
