Seems good, thanks.

I think you are right. Something like this could only be relevant for local 
files which execute code on remote locations (e.g. babel via the :dir argument) 
and require remote temp files instead of local ones. But that seems like too 
much of an edge case to support. If necessary a user could easily solve it with 
a small wrapper, that sets default-directory accordingly.
