Somehow, we do it already. But it doesn't work always. Or too
late. Maybe you could check Tramp 2.1; IIRC it is done more
consequently there.

We have no knowledge about the ssh implementation on the remote host;
especially, we don't know whether it accepts those parameters (though
most ssh implementations should). So it cannot be the default case I
believe.

There could be a new ssh method carrying the parameters, but it is
more or less the same saying "please use 'sshxyz' if your remote
prompt has escape sequences" or "please don't use escape sequences in
the prompt on the remote host".

Best regards, Michael.
