Find attached yet a better approach to avoid repetition.

Note that the above mention problem about multiple conditions remains, though. 
Help appreciated. :)

+This list is used by `project-switch-to-buffer'.
+Each condition is either:
+- a regular expression, to match a buffer name,
+- a predicate function that takes a buffer object as argument
+  and returns non-nil if the buffer should be switched to,
+- a cons-cell, where the car describes how to interpret the cdr.
+  The car can be one of the following:
+  * `major-mode': the buffer is switched to if the buffer's major
+    mode is eq to the cons-cell's cdr
+  * `derived-mode': the buffer is switched to if the buffer's major
+    mode is derived from the major mode denoted by the cons-cell's
+    cdr
+  * `not': the cdr is interpreted as a negation of a condition.
+  * `and': the cdr is a list of recursive conditions, that all have
+    to be met.
+  * `or': the cdr is a list of recursive conditions, of which at
+    least one has to be met.

+If any of these conditions are satisfied for a buffer in the
