I though the idea was to do something or other while retaining backward 
compatibility. From what I understand, `widen' is used to counteract the 
situation when a user calls `narrow-to-region' interactively.
If supporting this is not a priority, okay.

It occurs to me that, once the supported interface is established, 
introducing new syntax-table value becomes not strictly necessary 
because, for example, a version of Lennart's `with-chunks' macro can be 
implemented in Lisp by applying whitespace or comment-starter/ender 
syntax to foreign chunks around the body calls (idea from mmm-noweb).
Is that right?
