**NOTE:** The third argument should be a single `char`. However the module
doesn't throw an error if you supply more than one `char`s. See
[#28](https://github.com/stevemao/left-pad/pull/28).

**NOTE:** Characters having code points outside of
[BMP plan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(Unicode)#Basic_Multilingual_Plane)
are considered a two distinct characters. See
[#58](https://github.com/stevemao/left-pad/issues/58).
