It turns out I was talking complete rubbish, I felt sure I had
been able to specify hardcoded host names in tramp-methods, but
it seems that was my imagination playing up. What I thought I
had been able to do was to define a tramp-method, with a mnemonic
name (usually a shortened hostname), to connect to a particular
machine, hence, if I had a method named foo, I would do:
C-x C-f /foo:~/.emacs, and this would find a file with method foo
(which had a hostname of foo.tld hardcoded in).
Unfortunately, this turns out to have been no more than
daydreaming on my part.
I wonder if it's something worth doing[1], or if Michael's
completion now does something similar.
[1] I think this would probably be far too much work, as the way
tramp handled filenames would have to change completely. (again)
