I'm really sorry, Stefan, but in this case I'm too stupid to see what's
the value of this function. In the remote case it shall always return
nil - this could be checked by (not (file-remote-p file)). What does the
function return the local case? Just the file name, expanded?

Maybe it helps to see your use case in doc-view.el?
