I'm not sure that's a good idea because file_fdw works well for
PREPARE TRANSACTION! How about adding a note about that to the
section of Transaction Management in the postgres_fdw documentation
like the attached?

+1 (I too think it would be better to use "foreign tables" rather
than "remote tables" as pointed by Michael-san, but I think it might
be much better to use "postgres_fdw foreign tables", not just "foreign
tables".)
