Not so easy. There could be good reasons not to connect: timeouts,
connection interrupts, whatever. Sometimes it is better to let Tramp
resynchronize.

For example, there's an ongoing work to integrate mosh into Tramp. This
would allow to reconnect automatically, even if your laptop has been
offline for a while, and you have moved from work to home.

I know :-( But I have no better recipe.

Could we agree to close this bug?
