It sounds useful, at least for C/C++ programmers.

What would that command be called, though? And what generic function(s) 
on projects will we need to add?

Ideally, this would help different kinds of projects, but if the 
C/C++-specific command is easier to do by itself, that's okay too.

For instance, we already have project-roots, and all directories that 
don't match project-ignores are considered to be inside the project.

So maybe do a search inside project-file-completion-table, for a file 
name matching the current (but with swapped extension)?
