--- Comment #6 from Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I think the utility of this is similar to colors, that is when the output is a terminal, not when it is emacs or vim or any other non-tty. In remote hosts, I think we should do whatever GNU coreutils (so far, ls) is doing, probably no hostname at all. Most GNU/Linux distributions will use xdg-open to open the file:// url and that seems to work without a hostname.
