    I must say that the ange-ftp code confuses me:
    it creates a function ange-ftp-real-read-file-name-internal
    which it doesn't use.  It also announces ange-ftp-read-file-name-internal
    as the handler for read-file-name-internal but never defines the
    function and all this while read-file-name-internal does not check
    file-name-handlers (and neither does read-file-name).

It seems clear enough to me.  Someone working on ange-ftp expected
read-file-name to do file name handling, but it doesn't.
(Maybe at one point it did, or was going to.)

Could you delete that code from ange-ftp.el?
