My desktop mac's local host name is tlok.local. I open a shell buffer as
"/ssh:tlok.local:/Users/shipmints/" and as I "cd" around, I expect the
remote file prefix "/ssh:tlok.local:" to be maintained. If the host name
component is used as a discriminator, I don't get that benefit despite that
there actually is an active ssh connection. I think it should be respected
all the time as the user asked for it explicitly.
