It is treated like any normal boundary line, in every respect, until the throwin crosses it.
And if there is no temporary line painted on the court, but there is less than 3 feet of space, and we require the defender to give the thrower 3 feet...then we have effectively drawn an invisible line there and all of what you have said still applies, does it not?
