While you are looking at the code, there was another question on 
tex.stackexchange on bars:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/291946/overstrike-in-context-can-it-overstrike-leaders

How to get bars to work with leaders?

\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\starttext
\overstrike{Hello\hfill world!} % Works OK

Hello\leaders\hbox{.}\hfill world! % Works OK, nothing special

\overstrike{Hello\leaders\hbox{.}\hfill world!} % Not quite right
\stoptext
