Setting aside the artificial nature of this example, they could add 
"lispintro" or "lispref" to project-vc-extra-root-markers and have that 
nested project recognized.

As long as the directory contains at least some unique (in the scope of 
the containing project) file or directory, the marker-based approach can 
work fine.

Sounds fine to me.

I don't know how many people actually intend to do what you described, 
though. But it seems workable just the same.
