The usual GUI version of this feature just draws a line across the
window, which seems ok.  Similarly, Emacs could highlight a whole line
with an appropriately low-key face (either a subtle-ish background color
change, or an underline might be appropriate).

Of course it might be hard to fine faces which are sufficiently low-key
on low-capability terminals (8 colors, no underling or bold, etc), but
at least if there's a face to be defined, the user could try to find
something which works for them in such cases...
