Reproducing in a container, anyone else on Arch Linux should be able
to follow this.

1. mkdir ~/container
2. sudo pacstrap -i -c ~/container base --ignore linux --ignore
linux-firmware sudo emacs
3. sudo systemd-nspawn -b -D ~/container
4. Login with root
5. useradd -m bob
6. passwd bob
bob
7. visudo
bob ALL=(ALL) ALL
8. su bob
9. cd ~

1. emacs -Q
2. (setq tramp-histfile-override t)
3. C-x C-f /sudo::/ TAB bob RET

(Exit container with C-] C-] C-])
