I was thinking of using multiple connections not as an optimization
regarding speed, but more of an optimization regarding complexity.
It seems to me it would be much easier to implement.

My plan was to keep the additional connections open; so speaking of
opening a connection as overhead for `file-readable-p' is a little
bit misleading: it would only happen seldom.  Given the frequency in
which auto-revert is doing things, I expect that in effect a
connection would be dedicated to auto-revert.
