When it comes to things that needs to do some parsing (font-lock,
indentation, completion etc) I am not sure widening is always the
right mechanism. At least for multiple major modes in a buffer I think
something like "show me all characters that belongs to this major
mode" would fit better.
And that of course requires very low level changes to Emacs.
