This wouldn't work for the idea that I had in mind where you could set
almost everything there is to set in relation to connecting to a
remote host.  Think 'gnus-posting-styles' 'gnus-parameters'.

Could be nifty (and cute).  And it would speed up connection times
enormously if a user could set everything beforehand that tramp checks
for on the fly.
