But that's me. Thanks, that makes it clearer. If it helps understand why this can be important, I can explain my use case more.

Suggestions for improvement? Any ideas on this? Given that I'm using Lisp, not C, is what I'm doing a reasonable way to handle the Windows mapped drives test? > > What about the question wrt `file-remote-p' and `ffap-remote-p'? > > I don't think the current notion of remote files in Emacs is > consistent with what you want. Part of what I was saying was that we don't seem to have a single notion of remote file-name test. The difference between what `file-remote-p' and `ffap-remote-p' do is one aspect of that. > I suggest instead to lobby for a separate primitive; I'd support > that if it were available on Unix and GNU systems as well. OK, consider this a lobby. ;-) But I don't know what kind of primitive you have in mind. I explained what I thought I needed, but I'm not sure that is what you have in mind.
