Could you tell me a bit more about what it means for Tramp to "use
Docker containers" as the remote environment?

As I recall, Tramp connects to another computer using a standard
protocol and transmits files that way.  Doing this, Tramp would not
know how the other machine implements the protocol.  For instance, if
it used ftp (in the past), how that machine runs an ftp server was not
Tramp's concern.  Likewise if it uses http.

Thus, Tramp would neither know nor care whether the service is
implemented with a container.

Why then does Tramp need amy special code for the case where
that service is implemented with a container?
