+      Center the input string by padding the sides with a single `character` until the specified
+      `length` of the string has been reached. By default, if the `length` will be reached with
+      an uneven number of padding, the extra padding will be applied to the right side.
+      The side with extra padding can be controlled with the `padding` option.
+
+      Behavior is undefined if the number of characters passed to the `character` argument is not 1.
