This variable indicates whether a call of process-file changes remote files.
By default, this variable is always set to ‘t’, meaning that a call of
process-file could potentially change any file on a remote host. When set to
‘nil’, a file handler could optimize its behavior with respect to remote file
attribute caching. You should only ever change this variable with a
let-binding; never with ‘setq’.
