It could use an alternative syntax. E.g. /ssh:C:. or /ssh:c:~ or
/ssh:c.mydomain.org: , you name it.
It seems like a sufficiently oddball case (after all, the current
assumption is that such conflicts never happen).

I don't see what's different, unless you were thinking of checking the
existence of "/C:/foo/bar/baz" whereas I'd only want to check the
existence of the "root", i.e. "/C:".

Agreed. This said, I'm in favor of deprecating the "/<host>:" syntax in
favor of "/<method>:<host>:", which should make the possibility of such
conflicts even more remote (pun intended).
