I've committed a patch in ido.el to the emacs-25 branch. It's a little
bit simple-minded, but everything I've tried Tramp internally, made it
much more complex, and resulted in other errors.

Pls cross-check the patch.

PS: the example is wrong. The plinkx method uses sessions from PuTTY, it
never honors a user name specified in the remote file name.
