Good. Do you agree that it would be good for either `file-remote-p' or some
new function to take mapped network drives into account for remote files?
It might be that some uses of `file-remote-p' should not consider a file on
a network drive to be remote - I don't know.
Also, IIUC, `file-remote-p' isn't only boolean; the non-nil return value
means something. I don't know what should be returned for a file on a mapped
network drive.
And should we perhaps have a function that distinguishes remote files that
are not on a mapped drive from those that are? Is there any need to
distinguish these? (We currently do distinguish them, in that
`file-remote-p' returns non-nil for the former and nil for the latter.)
