Narrowing a region of text will copy the region into a scratch buffer in which

it can be freely manipulated. After your changes are done just write the buffer

with :w, :update, :x, or whatever is your favorite way to write a

buffer. Upon writing the buffer the changes will be made to the original

buffer as well. If you have made changes that you do not want to write back

the original buffer just close the buffer with :q!.

Narrow will mark the original buffer as read only and disable modifications.

Multiple narrowed region can be taken from the same buffer. This is useful in

the case of taking the diff of two different regions in the same file. Once

all narrowed regions are closed then the original buffer will modifiable again

(assuming it started out that way).
