Write a single function that parses the filename.  Then it looks up
the operation in an alist.  If there is a special handler, then call
it, else invoke the "normal" handler on the real filename.

Sounds reasonable to me.  The only problem is to know which of the
args is the filename we're talking about, but Tramp has a function for
this.
