Hi Dmitry,
I thank you for your nearly endless patience while we dance this dance. I will
write up a description of higher-level semantics later today, against which we
can look at the various API options.
Our API will live in Emacs for potentially decades; it's OK with me if it
takes us a few months to reach a satisfying consensus.
For the time being -- aka, Emacs 25.1 -- I think we should keep project.el in
core, so that xref.el can make use of it, but that we not document it until we
all agree on the API we want to commit to. Perhaps the preamble to project.el
should even state that it is presently for internal use only. I don't want us
to feel rushed to get this right.
John
