What about methods that just su? There doesn't seem to be any reason
why tramp should be only for remote files; it's really a way of editing
through a shell connection, with remote shells being a particularly
common and handy subset of that functionality.

Well, I think that it's good that X in `/X:Y' will be interpreted as a
hostname, but it seems desirable to be able to specify a `method-only'
name for methods where a hostname doesn't make any sense.
Maybe `:' _is_ the right choice, and something like `/M::P' should be
required for method-only names, but I think it deserves some discussion.
