Nothing to add to your comments ATM, but maybe an alternative idea: how
about solving this with a new type of display property for drawing a
horizontal line? Say `horizontal-line WIDTH' where WIDTH could be nil or
something to draw a line to the end of the display area? That would have
the advantage that it would be a relatively locally confined change and
would have no impact when not used, and hopefully little potential to
break unrelated things when not used.

One would have to have some Lisp though that puts the display property
on form-feeds.
