`tramp-sh-handle-insert-file-contents-literally', which calls
`find-buffer-file-type', is used only for XEmaxs. Emacs does not call a
file name handler for `insert-file-contents-literally'.

So I would like to let it as it is; I don't know whether it would break
XEmacs when we remove that code. I run XEmacs extremely rarely.

Best regards, Michael.
