Thanks. I think this would be a good addition to Eshell.

I'd say go with "Tramp" like you did in your patch. Since you're 
modifying code near most of the existing usages of "TRAMP", now would 
probably be a good time to fix that everywhere in the file too.

Since the 'eshell/doas' and 'eshell/sudo' functions are so similar, I 
definitely think it would make sense to share as much code as possible 
here. In particular, you could also add support for "--shell" to 
'eshell/sudo'.

There are some existing tests in test/lisp/eshell/em-tramp-tests.el, so 
I think it should be fairly safe to adjust 'eshell/sudo'; the regression 
tests should catch any problems. (Well ok, *some* problems.) It would 
probably be good to add some simple tests for 'eshell/doas' too.
