That is true, but it's also likely true* that simple, and file-name
comparisons are used in the Emacs sources. So perhaps we should limit
file-name-equal-p to local files, and assume that there's no reliable
way to compare them if the files are remote.

[* I haven't checked, but I would be surprised it they were none.]
