Why do you need this? Why don't you just _narrow_ to those limits,
instead of making `widen' do it?
Why does "widening" need a separate set of limits? That's what we have
narrowing for. Any restriction of the buffer is a narrowing (which
concept is defined relative to the full buffer), regardless of whether
the previous state was a narrower narrowing (restriction).
Cf. the first line of that doc string, which seems to be contradicted
by the possibility that `widen' can put you in a different restriction.
