I agree, but it's not foolproof enough (at least I am too fool for it :D)

I am afraid this will come back to bite us as more and more projects are
created.

Another natural solution would be to go back to previous behavior of not
having a default project. This way the first word is always the project
name... I personally do not use the default-project feature, but I am
not the only user... So open question to the list: do you use the
default-project feature?

I would also like to give a try to the prefix notation as it is quite
consistent with the @keyword syntax which I now officially love :). What
about creating a branch for it, use it for two weeks and then check back
how we feel about it? I do not want to be the only one testing this,
obviously.
