All right, let's add a comma there then.

Maybe we can afford spending a few more characters then, "point" is a 
reasonable improvement. I think that "col" as shorthand for "column" is readily 
understood because it is so common even outside Emacs, but will happily change 
to "column" if required.

Yes. The problem is that since we display the point and buffer size, which is 
the basic job of the command after all, we pretty much need to indicate 
narrowing in some way. Since narrowing is slightly uncommon we could afford 
some verbosity; what about changing

 <1234-5678>

into

 (narrowed to 1234-5678)

then?
