Hm? There are two kinds of Tramp filenames, multi-hop names and
normal names. Normal names look like this:
/method:user@host:/path/to/file
Multi-hop names look like this (using "[...]" to indicate that I've
left out something):
/multi:m1:u1@h1:m2:u2@h2:[...]:mN:uN@hN:/path/to/file
In both cases, I'm looking for a word that describes "/path/to/file".
So if a hostname is mentioned in "/path/to/file", it will not be
interpreted specially.
It *is* somewhat confusing that the "localname" names a file on a
remote host, but that just depends on the way you look at it...
