I have a label on dev containers I use, so I want a custom completion 
function: ps -a --filter 'label=jam.devbox' --format '{{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}'

I also want to pass the workdir flag to Podman when `podman exec` is 
invoked.

I've read the docs a few times but all the different ways one can 
customise how Tramp makes a connection feel overwhelming: create your 
own method, connection local variables, default values for connections 
based on application and protocol, etc.

Tacking something on here, I also notice that tramp-list-connections 
always returns nil for me (on 2.8.0pre), is this the case for you? I've 
spent the past 6 hours trying to figure out why and I must admit I am 
exhausted.

Tramps codebase feels very complex and I wonder if there is opportunity 
to simplify it a great deal (I say this as one willing to assist in 
that). Overall I think I've spent about 50 hours this past 2 weeks 
trying to understand why Tramp is doing what it is doing, where errors 
are occurring etc it feels very brittle and I mostly just want to get 
the work I want to be doing done instead. Or, if I am working on Tramp 
in some regard the ability to make progress as all the indirection, 
complex implementation, and difficulty debugging leaves me feeling 
stonewalled almost the entire time.
