Don't you think that it would be useful if mimibuffer-electric-slash
while specifying a path for efs in 

/user@machine:/path

format should clean only the path up to the colon, not the entire 
expression? 

Similarly, treating something like /foo@bar:/here/or//there like
/foo@bar:/there when passed to efs via gnuclient would be nice. 

Having that I would be able to use a simple script to quickly edit any 
file on any host from the shell prompt, both using relative and
absolute paths:

#! /usr/npac/bin/bash
gnuclient /`whoami`@`uname -n`:$PWD/$1


IMHO it would be a *good* thing.
