I understand that if we can treat a whole set of files which we know all
live below some directory, then some of the processing can be performed
just once instead of N times.
But in the current case, we just replace N calls to `file-local-name` with
N calls to `tramp-file-local-name` and it's supposedly already much
faster, even though `tramp-file-local-name` doesn't get to share work
between all those calls, AFAIK. It's *this* speed difference which I'd
like to understand.

Yes, the idea makes sense. Basically add a magic-file-op
(file-list-apply FUNCTION DIR FILES &rest ARGS) where FILES are relative
to DIR?
