Well, it took longer than expected due to other responsibilities. But
now I have pushed to master the very first version of tramp-crypt.el.

It isn't ready to be used in production, but it passes already the
majority of tests in tramp-tests.el. I haven't updated tramp.texi yet,
but the Commentary section in tramp-crypt.el should give you a first
howto for application.

Note that you can apply this for any remote directory. But for testing,
I have created a local directory "/tmp/crypt", and I have used the
remote directory "/ssh:hostnamegandalf:/tmp/crypt" - this makes it much
easier to test. Tests on my nextcloud server look also promising, but
this needs more polishing.

The Emacs Makefile doesn't seem to recreate tramp-loaddefs.el
automatically. In case you see compilation errors, try "make -C lisp
autoloads" first.

Comment welcome!

Best regards, Michael.
