The issue is not whether the returned file name is magic or not, but
whether it can be passed as-is to a subprocess.

I don't understand. unhandled-file-name-directory is used to get
a directory that can be used as cwd for subprocesses. And the new
operation is meant to be used to get a filename that can be passed
to subprocesses. So AFAICT they share everything and should use the
same name.
> Perhaps `nonmagic-file-name' would be a better name.
The jka-compr implementation of this new operation should return the
file name unchanged, so it would return a filename that's still as magic
as before. Hence nonmagic-file-name doesn't sound right. But the main
reason why I do not like it is because it introduces a new word
("nonmagic") to describe the same concept as "unhandled" in
unhandled-file-name-directory.
