DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       Passed a string and a length, this function returns the
       original string either cut to or extended to the length
       specified by the second argument.  If the length of the
       original string is longer than the length specified, then
       all characters beyond the length specified are cut off.
       If the length is less than the original string's length,
       then the original string is padded with spaces so that it
       ends up being as long as the length specified.

       Do not use this function inside the mudlib, as it is slow.
       Instead use _s_p_r_i_n_t_f_(_).  This SimulEfun exists to make life
       easy on creators.
