I don't think so, because it's possible for the original value to
exist and yet not be accessible to us. For example, if the orig
At this late stage in the pretest, won't it be safer to bind
default-directory only if the original value doesn't exist?
I am not sure whether it is safer, but it can't really hurt, and it
avoids the issue of installing more code by Chris Moore before his

I guess all I mean is that we need to fix Tramp (and other file
