Wow!  You were so quick!

When I try to open one of my rclone remotes in the same fashion, I get errors 
related to `group-name'.

(I'm running emacs 26.1 on a mac.)

I notice that `tramp.el' _conditionally_ uses group-name, where 
`tramp-rclone.el' does _not_ check for its existence before using it.   Is this 
intentional?

Also, based on a quick code inspection, I may need GVfs on my machine to run 
this, right?  Macos doesn't provide for GVfs, so far as I know.

I guess the easiest way to test/develop would be to use a VM or container 
running Linux with gnome installed, and run the development versions of both 
emacs and tramp?  Or, is there an easier way?

Thanks!
