The former. See for example `shell', where this has been done. Due to
this, you could set `explicit-shell-file-name' for different remote
connections.

However, meanwhile I believe we shouldn't implement it in every single
package which might profit from this. A better approach might be to call
it in `hack-local-variables'. Connection local variables would be
enabled then by every `run-mode-hooks' call, i.e., when a buffer
determines its major mode. Like directory local variables.
