Btw, since this explicitly targets remote files, I think it should run
the result of expand-file-name through convert-standard-filename.  The
latter is a no-op on Unix and GNU systems, but on Windows and DOS it
replaces characters that the underlying filesystem disallows.  Remote
file names are likely to suffer from this problem.
