Thank you for your contribution. I've played a little bit with it, and
honestly, I don't understand what I shall do when I'm prompted for user,
host and port. And the package doesn't contain any description what it is
good for, and what's the intended use case.

As test, I have applied naïvely

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# emacs -Q -l tramp -l ~/Downloads/tramp-interactive.el 
C-x T l
user (nil): RET
port: 22 RET
Remote file: file:/ssh:@localhost: RET RET
File not found and directory write-protected
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Could you please explain it? And also explain, what's the additional
benefit of this package, compared with user and host name completion in
the minibuffer we have already?

Best regards, Michael.
