Please read the docstring of file-remote-p, it has "nothing" to do
with the above. What you describe can misclassify both ways: remote
access can be provided by the OS (using NFS/AFS/SSHFS/...), and local
access can be provided by file-name-handlers (e.g. file:// URLs).
What you're describing is the unhandled-file-name function (which
currently doesn't exist: the closest is unhandled-file-name-directory).
BTW, along the same lines, we may want to provide an
unhandled-file-contents function, so as to detected files accessed via
auto-compression-mode or auto-encryption-mode.
