FWIW I think a separate command and binding would be preferable, namely
`C-x p w`.  That'd leave `w` intact and clearly indicate the
project-related nature of the (new) command, so it's arguably more
intuitive than `C-u C-u w`.  We could also have that binding in
non-Dired buffers, and have it operate on the visited file.
