When there is a file named sth. like > "aa:bbb.ccc", can tramp recognize it as local file?
In fact, Tramp cannot load such a file if it is in the _root_ directory, because (expand-file "/aa:bbb.ccc") etc would be called internally, which goes to Tramp via `file-name-handler-alist'. I've tried other tricks like "/localhost:/aa:bbb.ccc" or "/tmp/../aa:bbb.ccc" or "/./aa:bbb.ccc" - nothing works. But I guess it is rather an Emacs problem. It should allow to mask the ":" character in file names, like it does for "$" (which is masked with "$$").
