Documentation

Non-nil means it is ok for commands to call widen when they want to.

Some commands will do this in order to go to positions outside the current accessible part of the buffer.

If widen-automatically is nil, these commands will do something else as a fallback, and won't change the buffer bounds.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.
