That makes sense. Just call the property 'buffer'?

I wonder if it would make sense to alter the calling convention for 
uniquify-get-unique-names itself to return a list of propertized strings 
instead. project--read-project-buffer can do the conversion (copy each 
string and attach the property), but it's just extra consing.

Unless some more new callers are going to prefer the current convention.
