I'm not really an expert of completion mechanisms either, but what I do
know is that what Tramp does with methods in completions is not consistent
with the way completion mechanisms usually work.
With emacs -Q and (require 'tramp), if you C-x C-f / TAB TAB, you'll see
only two methods, namely "scp:" and "scpx:". If you C-x C-f /a TAB TAB,
you'll see two other methods "adb:" and "afp:".
If you now (add-to-list 'completion-styles 'substring), you still see
"scp:" and "scpx:" after C-x C-f / TAB TAB, but you do not see any methods
after C-x C-f /a TAB TAB.
