Thank you for your effort. 

However, I don't think this is going into a good direction. Narrowing
should probably be the same everywhere in Emacs, including Org mode.

IMO, this is very hackish. You imply that narrowing is only done
interactively, but this is not always the case. In non-interactive
usage, messing with newline characters could be a bad idea.

In a nutshell, I suggest not going this route. Sorry for not having been
clear about it earlier.
