The other things in this bug report have already been covered,
apparently, which leaves this wishlist item.

I don't think it's feasible to implement this, though.  The narrowing is
intimately tied to the buffer object internally, and I think undoing
that coupling would be very problematic.  As I think there can't be any
progress on this, I'm closing this bug report.
