I have some cases as below:
1. I'm working on project A, and I believe I can find a file-b in
project B/src/test. Then I switch project by project-switch-project
and using project-find-file to lookup him, but I'm not lucky the
file-b is not existed in project-B/src/test so I want to create this
file now without exit project-find-file
2. I want to use project-find-file to create a new file because I have
an overview of all subfolder levels in all folders. With find-file I
don't have this overview
These are normal case occur everyday on me.

Thanks,
