> narrow-mode (ab)uses a feature in a way that...
If this is really about long-lines display, could
you please consider not using a name such as
`auto-narrow-mode' or `narrow-mode' for this?
Functions and variables with `narrow' in the name
should generally, when possible, be reserved for
the usual feature of narrowing a buffer. (And in
particular for users doing that.)
If the reason for narrowing is only to carry out
or enable some other action/behavior/feature (e.g.
something to do with long-lines display?) then
maybe put that in the name, without `narrow'?
Will users look for this mode when they want to
narrow a buffer for some reason? Or is this just
something that has to be done in order to effect
something else - a precondition/dependency?
IOW, is this the best name, for users? What will
a user looking for functions for narrowing think
when coming across `narrow-mode'? If this isn't
something users will generally use for narrowing
a buffer then at least please make that clear in
the doc string.
