Hello!

I see this in tramp-ftp.el:

;; Disable Ange-FTP from file-name-handler-alist.
;; To handle EFS, the following functions need to be dealt with:
;;
;; * dired-before-readin-hook contains efs-dired-before-readin
;; * file-name-handler-alist contains efs-file-handler-function
;;   and efs-root-handler-function and efs-sifn-handler-function
;; * find-file-hooks contains efs-set-buffer-mode
;;
;; But it won't happen for EFS since the XEmacs maintainers
;; don't want to use a unified filename syntax.

I suspect this statement arose from the fact that I wasn't responsive at
the time this came around.  (Or did anyone actively speak about against
"unified filename syntax"?)  For this, I apologize.

I would appreciate if you could give me a further hint as to what would
be involved in improving the situation, specifically what "dealt with"
means.
