A solution that is humble enough to leave an open door for ad-hoc
case-specific handling of the problem.

If the font-lock rules to use in the buffer depend on whether the first
line of the buffer starts with #! or not, then your narrowing will break
them even tho they could work perfectly fine in a 1TB buffer without
requiring an infinitely fast CPU (since they don't need to scan the
whole buffer: just the region of interest plus the first 2 chars).
