The only solution I can think of would be to have a new
file-handler-sensitive operation (file-login-name FILE) which returns
the name of the user under which Emacs accesses the given FILE. For
local files, that would be equivalent to user-login-name, for remote
files it would be the name of the remote user, or "root" if Tramp sudo::
is involved.
What do you think?
It seems ok to me, provided it is localized and simple enough
that it isn't a risk to install it now. Would you like to write
the patch? It would be necessary to change the Lisp manual too.
