Have you looked at the code?

- Some bikeshedding about method names, their semantics and how to 
better document them. Does that sound important?

- The problem of project-library-roots-function being a variable, and 
being set in emacs-lisp-mode to a buffer-local value. There's a FIXME 
above its definition, please have a read.

It's an API that Projectile can write an adapter for, to allow 
third-party code not to depend on Projectile, or EDE, or another project 
system, explicitly. The current set of methods deals with directories 
related to the current project, but can be extended.
