But if the mmm framework narrowed the region to the current mode's
block, widening will force tree-sitter to parse the whole buffer.
No, because such a mode mode should already make sure this doesn't
happen.
How?

I'm not sure whether tree-sitter is going to be used with mmm-mode (or
similar) a lot, since it has its own provisions for mixing languages.
But I'd also like to consider the other cases where we *don't* want to
widen first. Any of them come to mind?
No, not off the top of my head.
I think we should try this in this one case, and see if other cases
come up.
I think we should try to answer the relevant questions first.
