I see. Would it help for me to detail my use case more?

No?

That was part of the suggestion/question: whether I should really need to call
two functions that way. I do so because it seemed to me that neither alone was
adequate to the task of telling me whether a file name might be remote. I try
ffap-file-remote-p first, because that seems less costly.
I use ffap-file-remote-p only for matching the two regexps, not for its returned
string value. Why do you mention only ffap-rfs-regexp and not also
ffap-ftp-regexp?
