I absolutely agree. I have a function in my personal "standard library"
that does (something close to) this, and I would never consider
replacing that with this C-like code; I wrote C for a living for too
many years already, thanks.
But as an answer to the request (i.e. native LC, not a function), it's
the best I can do :-)

don't get me wrong, I hate it, because it's c and I can't just stare at it
and know that %30s means pad the front with spaces, but nice.

Alex's idea is also clever, but what if I am trying to repeat another
character, like "#"?
put replacetext( format("%30s", " "), " ", "x") into myVar
(no promises for being the speediest solution - but still one line and no
library involved).
