Sounds fair.

OK

No idea either.  I think it shouldn't be too bad, since the potential
loads happen at runtime.  Stefan?

Unfortunately fileloop.el requires a generator.el variable that is not
in the generator.el of Emacs 26.3, iter-empty.

Works for me!  But then the comment up there should read:

   ;;; project.el --- Operations on the current project  -*- lexical-binding: 
t; -*-
   ...
   ;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "26.3"))
    
   ;; This is a GNU ELPA :core package.  Don't use functionality that is
   ;; not compatible with the version of Emacs recorded above, or avoid
   ;; that such functionality is compiled by default in that version.

Which would make this a question of an eval-when-compile + some version
check.  Unfortunately, the two definitions

   ;;;###autoload
   (defun project-search (regexp)

   ;;;###autoload
   (defun project-query-replace-regexp (from to)

Are autoloaded, as you can see.  Maybe I can just make the definitions
fail.
