I wrote a similar function once and in addition to the width it had this feature too (defaulting on "center"), so it sounds like a reasonable addition to me. Back then I was simply passing a "left"/"right"/"center" string -- not sure it's worth adding an enum for this (FWIW for text alignment there are 3 separate methods: ljust, center, and rjust).
