Is there a significant difference between your succinct answer for inline text and the one proposed by @egreg in the comment above (\def\textvcenter{\hbox \bgroup$\everyvbox{\everyvbox{}\aftergroup$\aftergroup\egroup}\vcenter})? I just wonder why the TeX by Topic author chose to publish the latter.

@kgo Eijkhout's macro allows \setbox0=\textvcenter{...}

@egreg - I couldn't have said it more succinctly. :-)

And \setbox0 just hides text? So Eijkhout's solution just adds a hiding functionality to 'middletext'?
