So it would look something like \D'l 0 address@hidden' then?
What advantage does this provide over the \l escape?

\D'l address@hidden 0'

The advantage is that it draws a "real", *continuous* line if
the device allows it (and a sequence of dashes with the tty
device).  The minus character is unsuitable for drawing lines on
a hi-res device because its spacing is (purposely) too generous.

Good enough for me.
I chose the minus in the first place because it provides the right
amount of spacing.
