Speaking as the author of one of the most widely-used project-centric
libraries[1], I agree with Jorgen. I would be happy to adopt a mechanism
that ships with Emacs as long as it doesn't involve CLOS.

My personal vote is for a way to provide a list of project-defining
predicates, but a .dir-locals.el-based approach that didn't have false
positives for .dir-locals nested inside project subdirectories would be
fine too.

thanks,
Phil
