Personally I don't care to ever complete host names (they're always short, as
I use ssh/config to manage them), so I'd rather have /host:file than an
unambiguous way to complete host names I never complete. I could be in the
minority, though.

This is the essence of my question: Does it solve the problem for some, at a
cost to others? What is the new user experience if they fail to use "ssh:"? Is
it obvious what they've done wrong and how to fix it? You're modifying some
seriously ancient behavior with this change.

Well.... by adding 4 characters to every remote pathname I type, for no
benefit *I* can perceive.

Since you know the code well, do you think it's easy to add my own
file-name-handler that will insert the missing "ssh:" and resubmit to Tramp?
