I doubt that you could reuse much of Tramp's `process-file'
implementations. They use pretty much Tramp internal functions.
Btw, this approach could still be applied to remote files. File name
handler calls can be cascaded.
"/?my-environment?~/.emacs" would work on a local file, and
"/?my-environment?~/sudo::.emacs" would work on a remote file.
Saying this does not mean that I agree with your proposal. Being
undecided.
Best regards, Michael.
