Getting back to the question of the new category, do you think 
`project-file' is a good enough name?

Could we want to reuse it for non-project, or non-file completions, in 
the future?

Here's the basic patch that I want to install, which should be enough to 
introduce the feature in 25.1 (to make project.el reasonably interesting 
at least for some fraction of users).

Using partial-completion here requires starting input with a slash, but 
that's still better than no partial completion at all.
