I did some lookup into files.el, there is a function file-remote-p, I
guess we should have a function dir-remote-p. This function can do a
string-match with the regular expression (defcustom) if present or use
the same logic used in file-remote-p (modify to check directory
instead of file). IMHO, this is a clean solution along the lines of
existing code.

with best regards,
