I used something like "scp <server>:<authfile> .; emacsclient" last time
I needed such a thing, which is a bit slowish, indeed.

I guess it could make sense. I'd rather like to see such a feature
provided some other way (e.g. share the key via ssh-agent, or rely on
GNUtls for authentication), but I guess in the mean time it might be OK,
provided the docstring strongly encourages users not to use it and to
expect it to disappear in the future.
