The long-lines code is not particularly concerned with CC-mode, tho.
In my experience long lines occur *extremely* rarely in files handled by
CC-mode, so it's not particularly important if this case is handled well
or not.

I think "nothing" is a perfectly valid choice at this point.
Of course, fixing CC-mode so that its font-lock (and indentation) code
doesn't call `widen` would be good in any case (also for use in MMM-mode).
I understand it can be somewhat annoying since the code that calls
`widen` might also be called from other places than indentation and
font-lock.
