Could be nice, but I think it's a different beast from project.el.
I actually have the impression that what you describe already exists and
is called EDE ;-)


Hmmm.   Now I'm back to the beginning of the thread.

Perhaps project.el is really project-root.el. I think that would clarify a lot, and would continue to be helpful to the tools that only need to know about the root. A clear intent would prevent misconceptions from causing the base to grow into something unintended.

I'm also interested in how to resolve some of the misconceptions about EDE. Perhaps looking at what prevents it from being 'on by default', which I'm sure is a long list, is a good way to move it in the right direction, even if it never is on by default.
