That is inadequate. An ideal "project" implementation should be smart
enough to figure out whether to look for the symbol's definition in the
files with the same extension as the current one, or in files with some
other extensions as well.
Elisp is lucky to have all its environment at hand. In many cases, for
decent "find definitions" result, we'll need to know the project
structure first anyway.

Maybe. Why wouldn't that be better?

That looks decent, but if you mean that xref-source-directories would
take the whole set of source directories defined for that project and
only take those from it that correspond to the current language, that
seems unnecessarily limiting to me (unless there's a way it can be very
smart about that, and the notion of "current language" will be
generalized to possibly mean an arbitrary set of major modes and file
extensions).
Further, I don't want to have xref-source-directories as a separate
variable or a function, unless we have to.
The idea is to add a new feature to Emacs that deals with projects, and
make xref use *that*.
