I'm curious, how are you thinking this would be implemented?  My thought
was that C-x p would act as a prefix for any key sequence in this way,
*but* also C-x p c and the other things currently in project-prefix-map
would still be explicitly bound, so they can be looked up with
describe-key.  And also, C-x p C-h should still run
describe-prefix-bindings.  I don't know how one would achieve this...
