I know but it is not enough in some cases. I think it should be up to
the user to set this, however it is already set and autoloaded in tramp-archive.el:

    (defvar tramp-archive-enabled (featurep 'dbusbind)
      "Non-nil when file archive support is available.")

Agree, but we sometimes get files from elsewhere with such filenames, of
course I never name my files/dirs like this.
Anyway I think tramp-archive should not kick in with such filenames or
any filenames unless user wants it.

Thanks.
