I thought I could implement John's recent project-switching
feature request using a Lua script.

(Actually, I already have it working in my sandbox :-)

Agreed, I expected that project_load_file() would open all
the files for the project. I'm sure there is a reason why
it doesn't, but I'm not familiar enough with the inner
workings of the project loading code to understand why.

Maybe there could be a wrapper function for plugins that
calls both of these, along with some sanity checks, like
making sure there isn't a project already open.

No problem,
