;; * Don't use globbing for directories with many files, as this is

;;   long command lines.
;; * Make it work for different encodings, and for different file name
;;   encodings, too.  (Daniel Pittman)
;; * Don't search for perl5 and perl.  Instead, only search for perl and
;;   then look if it's the right version (with `perl -v').
;; * When editing a remote CVS controlled file as a different user, VC
;;   gets confused about the file locking status.  Try to find out why
;;   the workaround doesn't work.
;; * Allow out-of-band methods as _last_ multi-hop.  Open a connection
;;   until the last but one hop via `start-file-process'.  Apply it
;;   also for ftp and smb.
;; * WIBNI if we had a command "trampclient"?  If I was editing in
;;   some shell with root priviledges, it would be nice if I could
;;   just call
;;     trampclient filename.c
;;   as an editor, and the _current_ shell would connect to an Emacs
;;   server and would be used in an existing non-priviledged Emacs
;;   session for doing the editing in question.
;;   That way, I need not tell Emacs my password again and be afraid
;;   that it makes it into core dumps or other ugly stuff (I had Emacs
;;   once display a just typed password in the context of a keyboard
;;   sequence prompt for a question immediately following in a shell
;;   script run within Emacs -- nasty).
;;   And if I have some ssh session running to a different computer,
;;   having the possibility of passing a local file there to a local
;;   Emacs session (in case I can arrange for a connection back) would
;;   be nice.
;;   Likely the corresponding Tramp server should not allow the
;;   equivalent of the emacsclient -eval option in order to make this
;;   reasonably unproblematic.  And maybe trampclient should have some
;;   way of passing credentials, like by using an SSL socket or
;;   something.  (David Kastrup)
;; * Reconnect directly to a compliant shell without first going
;;   through the user's default shell.  (Pete Forman)
;; * How can I interrupt the remote process with a signal
;;   (interrupt-process seems not to work)?  (Markus Triska)
;; * Avoid the local shell entirely for starting remote processes.  If
;;   so, I think even a signal, when delivered directly to the local
;;   SSH instance, would correctly be propagated to the remote process
;;   automatically; possibly SSH would have to be started with
;;   "-t".  (Markus Triska)
;; * It makes me wonder if tramp couldn't fall back to ssh when scp
;;   isn't on the remote host.  (Mark A. Hershberger)
;; * Use lsh instead of ssh.  (Alfred M. Szmidt)
;; * Optimize out-of-band copying, when both methods are scp-like (not
;;   rsync).
;; * Keep a second connection open for out-of-band methods like scp or
;;   rsync.
;; * Try telnet+curl as new method.  It might be useful for busybox,
;;   without built-in uuencode/uudecode.
