Well yeah: my question is "why do you want to program this?" Whenever
I want such a divider, I just enter "M-7 M-0 *", like this:
**********************************************************************
That took three keystrokes. If you want to repeat it a bunch of
times, you can make it a macro, and name the macro. However, either
making it a macro and calling it by name, or programming it as an
interactive function takes more keystrokes (unless you give it a
one-letter name or bind it to a key, e.g., C-c *).
If you want to call this from inside a function, or make it part of a
mode, I'd suggest looking at the code for major modes, such as sh-mode
or message-mode.
