Perhaps. But it's hard to tell, as it's been with saving and restoring
window configuration (which will specifically also restore the old value
of point and mark) --- often it's just the thing you want, sometimes it
isn't.

As you brought up narrowing as an simple man's alternative to multiple
files, I thought that restoring it would be appropriate in that context.
