What do you mean by ``take into account''?  File primitives already do
take that into account, in a way, so I'm unsure what you meant here.

I'm sorry.

I guess all I mean is that we need to fix Tramp (and other file
handlers) as well as jka-compr, because this also causes an error:

$ emacs -Q
(require 'shell)
(let ((default-directory "/a/b/c"))
 (insert-file-contents "/scp:lukhas:/home/dooglus/.BASH_PROFILE" nil))

and so does this:

$ emacs -Q
(let ((default-directory "/a/b/c"))
 (require 'shell))

Both of these errors are caused by call-process not working when the
current directory doesn't exist.
