I see. While one could add ("\\`/ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:"
. "/ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:.backup/") to the list, it would only work
for *some* Tramp files, not for all of them. Hm.
Maybe this means that backup-directory-alist is not flexible enough.
WDOT? Should we request enhancement of backup-directory-alist in core
Emacs?
