I agree that this O extender is probably not worth doing. As others
have pointed out, you can solve this problem using %subst or %replace,
even if the code isn't quite as elegant as we might want.
And how often does someone need to do something like this? I do a _ton_
of string manipulation of all sorts, but almost never need something
like this where data has to be both left-justified and right-justified
in the same field. Indeed, I can't think of any reason why someone
would need something like this -- although Pete obviously needs it, it
might be the only time he ever will.

I suppose there could be an extender, say O for Overlay, for EVAL and
EVALR, not to pad the remainder with blanks. That idea has been kicking
around for a long time, but there is a perceived lack of general
usefulness for this feature. Notwithstanding this current case.
