Simple cases would be possible, therefore I'm for a file name handler
implemented in Tramp. It could expand default method, user names and
host names. It could massage the hostname (downcase all hostnames,
canonicalize them if possible (for example "127.0.0.1" and "::1" and
"localhost" could all be mapped to (system-name))). It could fiddle with
file name case sensitvity (it might be different on your local Windows
machine and your remote GNU/Linux machine). It could know which methods
are equal when it comes to file name comparison. ("ssh" and "scp" are
equal in this way). And so on.
There will still be cases Tramp returns "not equal", but we would catch
the majority of use cases, I believe.
