Revised patch attached to use the "-" pseudo method.

I've not changed this.  The code is evidentially deciding whether the
user/host pair being tracked in the shell in the term buffer is a match
for the user/host pair known locally to Emacs.  Unless both of those
components match, a tramp path is created.  I've not tested the case
of a different user on the local host, but it seems like reasonable
logic to me, at first look.

(if (and (string= term-ansi-at-host (system-name))
         (string= term-ansi-at-user (user-real-login-name)))
    ;; Use a local path
  ;; Use a tramp path
