lpad: left pad
nwise/1 replaces _nwise/1 and works on arrays and strings. nwise($n; stream) is a stream-oriented version of nwise/1, and places no limits on what may appear in the stream. It has $n as its first argument mainly in deference to limit/2.

_nwise/2 is dropped.

Add a negative $n test case as it seems to get stuck atm, should throw error?

Good points. QED.

Not sure why the "Building man page...." test fails, as I don't have that problem on a Mac. Any ideas?

Let's discuss on the design of padding function(s) in #2033. Especially on how this is less useful on printing strings with multi-width characters in table-like format in terminals.
