Just to clarify, "last character of that line" refers to the newline
character or the one before it?

I think this would have been useful for magit to simplify the use of
overlays to display the region with horizontal lines. In
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21468#43 you suggested a
way using :align-to which turned out to have a bunch of complications
and magit ended up not using it (see
https://github.com/magit/magit/pull/2293).
