If you are saying the above in the context of my proposal to implement
the "narrowing" such that it's only visible to redisplay, then I see
no problem: redisplay_window is called separately for each window, and
so the "narrowing" will be computed separately and differently for
each one of them.  (Which might, btw, mean we will see each window
with slightly different fontifications, if we limit font-lock to the
same restriction.  Something to keep in mind for later, I suppose.)

If you are saying the above in the context of the current
auto-narrow-mode, then it shouldn't be hard to loop over all the
windows showing the same buffer and choose the widest narrowing of
them all.  Or am I missing something?
