Before we dive into all that, why not try advice on 'command-execute'? 
For the PoC code at least. It's in Lisp since 2013.

The comment in its body does say "Called directly from the C code", but 
I'm not sure if that has any direct implications for us.

This attached piece of code implements the project-switch-project as you 
outlined. Does it work well for you/others? Careful when testing or 
modifying: a typo can break the command loop (and thus the session).

To me it seems a little too bare-bones, lacking the instructive hints 
project-switch-project currently has.
