Filenames like "../../../../../../usr/share/doc/libpng/examples.c"
are something I woudn't like to see. If someone can convince the
leading developers (except for the missing Nick) on a three-state per
project option "Store filenames as: Always absolute / Relative if under
the project directory / Relative if under the project file directory",
I'll implement it, and believe it'll be shorter and more compatible.
No offence.

That doesn't mean you shoudn't be able to open a file outside the
project directory, and AFAIK, no IDE with such limitation exists.
So the project organization discussion is irrelevant.
