Best way to replicate a string?

What is the best way to replicate a string n number of times?

I was hoping to find a message in the String class such as in the
example:

str := 'abc' repeat: 4

I don't think there is anything existing in the image to do this but it's
easy enough to add a method to String -

String>>repeat: anInteger
    | stream |
    stream := String writeStream.
    anInteger timesRepeat: [stream nextPutAll: self].
    ^stream contents
