Thanks for this! However, I believe we should not use tramp-remote-shell
and tramp-remote-shell-args in shell.el. The better approach would be to
use connection-local variables. Have you read the section "Running
‘shell’ on a remote host" in the Tramp manual, chapter
(info "(tramp) Remote processes") ?

Best regards, Michael.
