The intention is to provide a generic API that other packages can use.
The roots and search-path looked to be the most important things to know
about a project, so far.
If you can propose better ways to do the same things, or something else
worth adding, please do.

I've implemented EDE support similarly to your patch initially, but then
Stefan opined it's better to dispatch on the actual EIEIO class. This
implementation lives near the bottom of ede.el in Emacs master. Please
take a look and try it sometime.

project.el defines a generic API. EDE is one implementation.
One that a lot of Emacs users still avoid using (hard to tell exactly
why; probably because it doesn't match every kind of project).
Projectile seems to the most popular "project implementation" out there.
Anyway, the suggestion to replace an agnostic API with a specific
implementation doesn't make a lot of sense.
