That's how I generally do `personal' abbreviations. But in the case of a remove path, I'd like to be able to still use a consistent naming scheme for remote addresses -- even ones with hair paths -- and have them reflected in the filenames tramp treats as canonical. So if tramp requires `/foo|some@hairy|miles@gnu.org/spec' to reach my directory at gnu.org, It would be nice to be able to just say `/gnu.org:/' -- and also have it show up that way after completion, in buffer lists, etc. I think that remote paths are _often_ hairy, and so deserve some special treatment to make them more manageable. -Miles --=20 [|nurgle|] ddt- demonic? so quake will have an evil kinda setting? one tha= t=20 will make every christian in the world foamm at the mouth?=20 [iddt] nurg, that's the goal=20
