Hi list,

I am the author of an emacs package called eev -
<https://anggtwu.net/#eev> - and I've been working on a way to explain
certain "things" using demos that can be run in REPLs. Right now the
best example of one of these "things" is SVG, and I am putting my
notes on this page:

  https://anggtwu.net/2026-eepitch-svg.html

Please don't worry if it doesn't make much sense... as far as I know
eev has very few users - or at least users who have talked to me - and
many, many, many more people who have tried it and who told me that
they can't figure out what are the workflows for using it... =( =( =(

Anyway, the last 5 seconds of the video of the demo about clipPath,

  https://anggtwu.net/2026-eepitch-svg.html#demo-clippath-1
  https://anggtwu.net/eev-videos/2026-eepitch-svg-4.mp4

show how I can switch between a 3-window setting and a 4-window
setting, and this is what matters now.

I am trying to do something similar to that, but that would show tramp
running in debug mode, and that could - at some point - help people to
troubleshoot cases in which tramp tries to connect somewhere, but
fails.

Here is a first question. If I run this,

  (setq trd-fname "/scp:edrx@linode:/home/edrx/public_html/o")
  (setq trd-vec (with-parsed-tramp-file-name trd-fname nil v))
  (setq trd-dbgb (tramp-debug-buffer-name trd-vec))
  (setq tramp-verbose 6)
  (find-file trd-fname)

that doesn't depend on anything from eev, the `find-file' at the end
opens a file on the server that hosts my home page - but it only
returns after several seconds, and after writing lots of messages
on the debug buffer whose name is in the variable `trd-dbgb', i.e,
"*debug tramp/scp edrx@linode*"...

How can I write a function that works like the `find-file' at the end
of that code but that runs asynchronously, in the sense that it starts
the mechanisms that open trd-fname in the current window, but it
returns immediately?

  Cheers, thanks in advance, more soon, etc,
    Eduardo Ochs...
