Ton,
The ramp pattern is a bit of an overkill, because it generates a DBL array, which takes 8x more space, then you have a coercion to U8 when you convert to the string, creating another unecessary datacopy in memory.
You also end up with a plain string, containing all characters as a single word instead of an array of strings with one character per element, so it does not meet specifications. 🙂
