I think this sounds good, but I haven't had a chance to test the
geanyprj plugin yet. It would be cool to have (1) in the core, but I'm
not sure how much code it is or how much extra memory would be used
typically. Memory probably isn't an issue so long as there's a
preference not to load tags from unopen files under the project base
dir, and IMO it should be off by default.

Enrico, should this be in the core?

I'm not sure what you mean. Project session support can be disabled,
and the user can still use projects for build support, etc.
