Assuming Dmitry is OK with this implementation, this option should be
in NEWS, I think.

bindings.el is preloaded, but project.el is not.  Doesn't the above
cause trouble while bootstrapping, or forces loading project.el right
after starting Emacs?  IOW, when will project.el be loaded if the user
customizes the new option to a non-nil value?
