That's not actually helpful.
There is no direct way to accomplish this; however, it is possible to
create a "rule" as big as an enclosing box, and position a text box over
it. Example code:
\def\pdfliteral#1{\special{pdf: literal #1}}
\def\greyline#1{
\setbox1\hbox to \hsize{#1}
\setbox0\vbox{
\pdfliteral{0.8 0.8 0.8 rg}
\hrule width \hsize height \ht0 depth \dp0
\pdfliteral{0 0 0 rg}
}
\wd0=0bp
\hbox{\box0\box1}
}
