Remote process execution

[Aidan Gauland]

I am trying to modify a third-party package to work over TRAMP, and I am 
stuck on `call-process-region'.  I seem to be able to use `process-file' 
as a drop-in replacement for `call-process', but there does not appear 
to be any substitute for `call-process-region'.  I did find 
`tramp-call-process-region' (and `tramp-call-process'), but these 
functions seem to be redundant, since they just call the process on the 
local host, which is what the non-tramp versions of these functions do 
already.

Can anyone offer advice on modifying code that uses 
`call-process-region' to handle remote-command-execution in TRAMP buffers?
