Like Miles, I was worried at first, but I think the new syntax makes sense.
In any case, the "long style syntax" wouldn't really matter if tramp
handles "host abbrevs" so that writing /xyz:/ is automagically
expanded to /multi:m1:address@hidden:m2:address@hidden:/ (behind the scenes
please)
whenever it is used.
This will also allow me to make an abbrev /su:/ to do "su root" on my
own machine by expanding to /su:address@hidden:/.
So is tramp-abbrevs implemented yet?
