No clue. Probably, Stefan is right, and this has nothing to do with
GNU Emacs.

It won't, not in GNU Emacs.

I don't think a doc string should say what variables a function does
NOT pay attention to. It does say that it performs code conversions;
anything else it just does NOT do, period.

Neither. Sorry, I confused this variable with another. This variable
is nil by default, and not set by any Emacs feature AFAICS, so it
doesn't affect insert-file-contents unless customized.

insert-file-contents does nothing with local eval.

Yes, and neither should you.

Why not? And what about compressed files -- don't you want to support
those? They are also supported through file handlers.
> What does `i-f-c' do wrt remote files?
It calls the appropriate handler, so that the contents of the remote
file will be inserted into the buffer as result.

Just use insert-file-contents, that's what it's for. Then, if you see
any problems, raise those problems specifically. In general, I don't
expect you to have any problems, because insert-file-contents is
_precisely_ for these use cases.

That's a question to whoever wrote that function. As I said, most, if
not all, of what it does is unneeded or incorrect.
