Since the non-narrowed part is not displayed at all, it wouldn't be
quite what we want anyway.
We'd need to add something new, tho it could be based on something
pre-existing (e.g. it could rely on text properties like to `invisible'
and/or `intangible').

Nothing's trivial when you have to ensure some amount of backward
compatibility with code written many years ago ;-)
But of course, it would be OK to start with something that may break
pre-existing code, as long as it's only broken when you use the
new feature.
And I agree with Lennart, that such a new tool, if done right, could be
a good basis for better multi-mode support.
