Such functionality does not exist in Tramp.
Remember, Tramp is just a stupid library, which offers alternative
implementations for primitives like write-region, copy-file, or
insert-file-contents. Before Tramp could implement automagic
encoding/decoding, we would need a design in Emacs how it shall look
like. Not only for Tramp, other file name handlers could profit from
this as well. And even files on mounted directories come to mind.
Best regards, Michael.
