Well, it should also be possible to outdent the defun to column 1 by
deleting the leading blanks.  narrow-to-region has merely the
advantage that it does not actually change the file (in the case of
Emacs Elisp source files, they might well be readonly for a user, and
fiddling with read-only settings or creating a local copy might be
less convenient).
