We still consider project.el "experimental", and we should be allowed to
roll back on bad ideas.

The sole goal of that example is to change the UI of project-find-file
for its backend, and for that backend only.
That doesn't seem like a worthy goal.
And right now project-find-file is incompatible with that completion
table. The obvious move it to make it use project-files instead, and
thus project-file-completion-table entirely unused.
Another fix could be to (try to?) move the common-parent-directory logic
into the default completion table. Not sure if it's feasible, but you
could prove me wrong.
In that case, though, different project backends will be able to show
different UIs to the users.
> Why disallow it?
Per-backend, non-user-customizable UIs are bad. And we've seen no other
use cases so far.
