`file-local-name' might not be a good name.

The operation `unhandled-file-name-directory' returns a directory that
isn't magic.  But remote names are not the only magic names, so
"local" isn't necessarily the right way to describe the relationship
between that directory and the argument.

I think the same goes for `unhandled-file-name'.

Perhaps `nonmagic-file-name' would be a better name.
