The high-level idea is to have a line from going from the left to the
right edge of the window. Most of the line is composed of an overlay
specifying the :underline text property. The last bit of it, from the
end of the text to the right edge of the screen, is created by an
underlined after-string space which uses :align-to to reach the right
edge of the screen.
Using :align-to 'right or :align-to `((,(window-body-width nil t))) does
not account for horizontal scrolling (i.e., the line ends at 80 columns,
even when the 80th column is scrolled to the left). So I tried
`(+ ,(window-hscroll) (0 . right))
`(+ ,(window-hscroll) (,(window-body-width nil t))) ; initially this
to make up for it, which turns out to cause this strange looping.

According to `(elisp) Pixel Specification',
The form NUM specifies a fraction of the default frame font height
or width. The form `(NUM)' specifies an absolute number of pixels.
I interpreted "fraction of the default frame font" to mean that the
result of window-hscroll would be multiplied by the font width (it's a
plain number outside a list).
I tried now also `(+ (,(window-hscroll) . width) (0 . right)), which
gives the same result.
The `width' and `height' units correspond to the default width and
height of the current face.
[...]
A value of the form `(NUM . EXPR)' stands for the product of the
values of NUM and EXPR.
By the way, I also tried `(+ (,(window-hscroll) . width)
(,(window-body-width nil t))) which again gives the same result.
