tramp-dissect-file-name (and tramp-dissect-multi-file-name) looks at
the string representation of the file name and returns a structure
which contains, amongst other things, the user name in question. You
will have to teach tramp-dissect-file-name to return a special value
when the user name is not given. And then you need to have a look
through all functions where method, user and host are passed as
parameters. Most of those functions just pass them on to lower-level
functions, but functions like tramp-open-connection-telnet actually
use the user name. In those functions, you need to check for the
special value and then do the right thing.
I suggest that you use nil as the special value.
