Don't know, but it is a documented feature for many decades. We
shouldn't destroy it intentionally. If we have an alternative, as I have
proposed with without-remote-file-names. What's wrong with this? You
could use it everywhere, where you let-bind file-name-handler-alist to
nil these days.

Best regards, Michael.
