 5.3 Creating Strings
 ====================
 
 The easiest way to create a string is, as illustrated in the
 introduction, to enclose a text in double-quotes or single-quotes.  It
 is however possible to create a string without actually writing a text.
 The function ‘blanks’ creates a string of a given length consisting only
 of blank characters (ASCII code 32).
 
  -- : blanks (N)
      Return a string of N blanks.
 
      For example:
 
           blanks (10);
           whos ans
                ⇒
                 Attr Name        Size                     Bytes  Class
                 ==== ====        ====                     =====  =====
                      ans         1x10                        10  char
