I have the following method that I used a bunch of times already, which could find it's place in the stdlib maybe :

operator fun Char.times(i: Int): String {
    check(i >= 0) { "Can't repeat character negative times " }
    return String(CharArray(i) { this })
}

val s = '_' * 8

[diesieben07]

val s = "_".repeat(8) is already in the stdlib

so operator fun Char.times(n: Int) = this.toString().repeat(n) nice.
