I took a closer look at this and it's not necessary. (Note: I do the
majority of my testing in a looped-back setup).

What you didn't notice is that split_remote() separates the colon
whether there is a host or not. It's not passed to ssh or cat (or
whatever) directly. So the change you propose will actually break the
how it was designed.
