I propose the following methods Array#ljust(length [, pad]), 
Array#rjust(length [, pad]), whose behaviour is analogous to 
String#ljust(length [, padstr]), String#rjust(length [, padstr]).

    [:a, :b, :c].ljust(2) #=> [:a, :b, :c]
    [:a, :b, :c].ljust(5) #=> [:a, :b, :c, nil, nil]
    [:a, :b, :c].ljust(5, :x) #=> [:a, :b, :c, :x, :x]

Issue #5552 has been updated by Tsuyoshi Sawada.


And also `Array#center` analogous to `String#center` as well.

なぜそれが必要なのか提案に含めてください。Stringにあるから、では不十分です。
私にはArray#ljustなどがあって嬉しい局面が想像できません。

If you know pad length is greater than the array length then:

  [:a,:b,:c].insert(5, nil)

Not sure about "rjust" though. I suppose there is always:

  a.unshift(nil) until a.size == 5

Though that seems fairly inefficient.

I think this is a good suggestion.
