That's the canonical way *for the user* to write a file that bypasses
file name handlers (useful when you want to access a local file named
/ssh:foo:bar, for example).
Whereas in gnutls.el the issue is for the *code* to check that the
libgnutls C code (which will not have access to the file name handlers)
will be able to use the file name provided by the user.
