On the topic of connection methods and their definitions, I want to see
what people think of one of my plans for the tramp2 code.
By default, I want this to have as much automatic configuration as
possible. So, my plan is that, by default, the method for encoding and
decoding files on the remote machine will be auto-detected.
It will be possible to override this in connection definitions but, by
default, all the detection will be automatic.
This, of course, presumes that I don't find any real problems getting
reliable detection of encoding methods remotely working.
