OK, I'll come back to this later on.

"checking whether a command will be executed on a local or a remote
host". Stefan pointed already to this inaccuracy of mine.
One could argue that just calling `process-file' should be
sufficient. But it isn't for packages which still want to support
Emacs 21. Supporting `call-process´ for commands on remote hosts would
result in no change for such packages in the best case.

"handle commands to be executed on a remote host".
Best regards, Michael.
