    Currently, Tramp indeed puts the method in the filename.

That seems like a useful feature, but I wonder where you 
can do it without its being an anomalous thing to change the file name.
Which operation does this?

I suppose if expand-file-name does it there will be no anomaly, since
it normally returns a file name that is different from the one you
gave it.  Is that what you did?
