I tend to agree saving narrowing, I find rather annoying. However narrow
a column to a certain width dynamically I find useful.

What's about the following idea: can't we have the current configuration
option of narrowing

|      | <20>           |
| this | very very long |

and then executing org-table-toggle-column-visibility (or maybe a new
function) would display


|      | <20>       |
| this | very...... |


But not save it in the buffer?
