Indeed, this approach.  I think it's a step forward.  Actually two steps forward.
Both patches improve this part of project functionality greatly.

Regarding project-other-place-use-entire-map, I don't know, first need
to try using new commands for some time to see what's missing.

Currently to open a new project in a new tab I have to type:
‘C-x t t C-x p p’ then a project dir and some key e.g. ‘v’.
When Sean will turn the prototype into the final patch,
then the key sequence will be much shorter:
‘C-x t p v’.
