Well, this is possible.  I recently did this change:

2002-07-26  Kai Großjohann  <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE>

	* tramp.el (tramp-coding-commands): New variable.
	(tramp-find-inline-encoding): New function.
	(tramp-handle-make-directory, tramp-handle-delete-directory)
	(tramp-handle-delete-file): Do expand-file-name on arg.

This is from the ChangeLog in Tramp.  Maybe this detail got lost in
the ChangeLog in Emacs.
