Not sure what you mean. I didn't hope to reuse TRAMP implementation,
just to use process-file which so many other Elisp programs have
changed their implementation to use.

Yes, this is a possible future development. It might even work
automatically if magic prefixes are stripped one by one, and TRAMP
uses process-file internally. (Not sure what TRAMP internals
look like)
