function returning space

Question

I would like to have a function that gives me spaces according to a number i multiplied by a factor f. So I end up with returning 6 spaces with (spaces 3 2).

This is to be able to indent some debugging comments in my elisp code when there are splits in the code (e.g. conditionals).

C-u 8 SPC will insert 8 spaces.

Equivalently from lisp:

(self-insert-command 8 ?\s)
