% \begin{documentation}
%   At \LaTeXe{} you have command \cmd{\rule} to make horizontal and vertical
%   rules and even boxes.  Currently there's no L3 command for this.  This
%   module provides two new L3 functions for rules.  The ``-D'' in the module
%   name indicates, that currently the implementation uses deprecated
%   functions like \cmd{\tex_vrule:D}.  Nevertheless, the new rule functions
%   aren't declared to be deprecated.
%
%   This package has been made only, because \pkg{GS1} needs such rule
%   functions.  So maybe it's simply a helper package for \pkg{GS1}.
%
%
% \begin{function}{\rule:nn , \rule:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     "\rule:nnn" \Arg{dimexpr_{raise}} \Arg{dimexpr_{width}}^^A
% \Arg{dimexpr_{height}}
%     "\rule:nn"  \Arg{dimexpr_{width}} \Arg{dimexpr_{height}}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Draw a rule of width \meta{dimexpr_{width}}, height
%   \meta{dimexpr_{height}} and raise it by \meta{dimexpr_{raise}}. It the
%   \meta{dimex_{raise}} has not been given, the rule will be drawn at the
%   base line.
