Yep, find-file in particular of course.
I'm a bit slow, but I finally understood the comments for the tramp case
and that the "(list name)" is to trick find-file.
I suppose the right thing would be if find-file didn't look at the
remote identifier part when considering whether there's wildcards, thus
allowing any chars at all there. So where it has
(string-match "[[*?]" filename)
instead perhaps something like, completely untested,
(defun file-name-wildcards-p (filename)
(string-match "[[*?]" filename
(length (or (file-remote-p filename)
"")))))
but probably with a check that the file-remote-p return is indeed a
prefix of the filename, if that's not quite mandatory.
