It currently isn't implemented by calling narrow-to-region, but that's
just a technical detail: it behaves exactly like

    (defun widen () (narrow-to-region 1 (1+ (buffer-size))))

Indeed, the issue of soft-vs-hard narrowing can also be looked at in
a different way, and maybe the best way to solve it will not involve
changing narrowing at all.  Of Then again, maybe it will.

I'll try and look at it soon, thank you,
