I do not think so. You can possibly work around that, by writing some
BufWritePre autocommand that will shift your buffer by one char to the
right and a BufWritePost autocommand, that will reshift it backwards.
But then you would probably also a BufRead autocommand that will shift
you buffer to the left by one char.

Well, you get the idea. This will get pretty ugly soon, plus you lose
the ability to see how the written buffer actually looks like...
