Hi. I'm running a bleeding-edge build of emacs from git. I turned on
what I thought was the old-style TRAMP syntax by evaluating

  (tramp-change-syntax 'simplified)

This gives me the old syntax for ssh, but other modes don't work
anymore. For instance, trying to open /sudo::/whatever now tries to
contact an ssh server named "sudo". Is this expected? Is the 'simplified
syntax not an old-style compability syntax?
