make-string

(make-string size &key initial-element element-type)

Returns a fresh string of size characters, each equal to :initial-element (default a space; the standard leaves the fill character implementation-defined). :element-type is accepted and ignored -- rontolisp has a single string representation. The result is a MUTABLE buffer on every backend: replace, (setf (char ...)) and (setf (subseq ...)) write into it in place, and the write is visible through every reference to it. Available on all backends except --no-gc.
