As I've pointed out, a specialized Tramp function could do better than
Tramp's version of `file-remote-p', for example knowing that the methods
"ssh" and "scp" are equal when it is about `file-name-equal-p'.

That's why I'm in favor of `file-name-equal-p' AND its file name handler
for remote files.

Best regards, Michael.
