Not if the whole buffer contains text which the major mode can't understand. There are valid cases where a major mode needs to widen, indeed, but not when called from font-lock or from `indent-line-function`.`org-indent-line' (the value of `indent-line-function' in Org mode) does require invoking parser in order to determine the syntactic object at point, which, in turn, needs to consider the full buffer contents. This is prescribed by Org syntax. We cannot avoid this.
Do you really mean that there is no way to avoid invoking the parser on the whole buffer, and to possibly process 20 MB of data, when org-indent-line is called?
