Reasons this may not be desirable:
* removable/network drives, tarballs: files with useful saved places
may not always be present
* file-readable-p can be slow applied to certain volumes, such as
CD-ROM drives. The first time I ran it, on my formerly 1000-item
save-place-alist, emacs hung on exit while the CD-ROM spun up for
the necessary tests
This suggests it would be useful to add a feature for specifying
patterns of file names that should not be tested. Perhaps there
can be a default pattern that matches all remote file names, etc.
Then the feature could be enabled by default. What do you think?
