yes:

(assq 'tramp-login-args (cdr (assoc "ssh" tramp-methods)))
(tramp-login-args (#1="-t" #1# ("-l" "%u") ("-p" "%p") ("%c") ("-e"
"none") ("%h")))

"-t" is necessary to tell the sub-processes that this is an
interactive session and not a batch session.
why does tramp insert space between "-" and "t"?
