Hm, yeah, it doesn't fit.

Ange-FTP calls this kind of filenames "extended filenames", how about
that?  I think it describes the purpose of the thing quite well...  It's
a filename with more stuff than just a filename: a method, user and
host.

What do you think?

(The added bonus is that now that Tramp and Ange-FTP filenames look
alike, the user won't be confused by different names.)
