Actually, now that I think about it, ange-ftp _already_ uses another
character -- `#' to specify the port to use.

Here are the ange-ftp syntaxes:

     /HOST:FILENAME
     /address@hidden:FILENAME
     /address@hidden:FILENAME

It would actually be quite natural to put the tramp method where the
ange-ftp port is (after all the method is sort of a `port'), and it
should be unambiguous if the ange-ftp port is always a number and the
tramp method always a string [from a limited set].

Hmmm, seems quite good actually...
