This is interesting. I'm not sure that we should reuse the same helper 
(project--file-completion-table) or the category, but reading from a 
more limited list seems like a good idea.

This last one might be overkill. How often would one have to "forget 
project dirs" for us to make sense to optimize this scenario, rather 
than simply have them call the command multiple times?
