Actually, from an Model-View-Controller point of view, storing narrowing
cookies in the table is mixing Model and View. Narrowing a new column
requires to change the data, which is bad.
Furthermore, narrowing cookies influence export, so this is not
gratuitous at all.
IMO, dynamic narrowing makes much more sense than static one.

There is no space in shrunk columns. Such a column looks like this: |…|
True, there are still "|", but removing them would be ambiguous:
| and so on…until |
vs
| and so on |…| until |
Expanded columns still have to be readable.

Since I don't know what is a "nice SES type spreadsheet", I cannot
comment on this. Do you mean that C-c ' should open the table as an SES
spreadsheet?
If so, converting the data would be easy, converting the formulas more
difficult.

How is this an example for the above idea? SES is a spreadsheet whereas
the above is about using minibuffer to display fields.
This can be implemented independently of columns narrowing so this is
orthogonal to the current patch.
