Mostly for the benefit of (external) client code. Also, as a secondary
effect, striving for a stable API probably tends to make the authors of
the API work harder to

Yup, that was the original rationale for introducing
comphelper/string.hxx, see the comment at the start of the file.

Generally IIRC StringBuffers were the way to go. You can find

much an equivalent to the

Hi,
the deprecated string classes have a Fill(n,c) method which fills a
string with a single character c repeated n times. I found ~50
occurrences of Fill() using git grep, so it might be worth to add a
Fill() method to OUString. Maybe the name of the new method could be a
bit more verbose
