I really think we could benefit from presenting some kind of goal or
vision for the project.el development. AFAICS, it started as a way to
standardize finding a "project root", then moved to finding "project
directories", but now it seems we are discussing a much wider scope,
something like infrastructure for project definition and possibly also
IDEs? If it's the latter, then I won't expect to see arguments about
"complications outweighing benefits" in reference to features that are
basic for any IDE that is worth its menus.
So maybe we should step back a notch and decide anew where is
project.el going, and what is and isn't in its scope?
