Yeah, I don't want to give that impression.  The default
should be to use a common master.  But I want it to be
very easy to use multiple masters when it's appropriate.

That would get the point across very nicely.
I don't know if it's the way to go in real life, since
several masters might want to refer to the same
projects.

Maybe if I put the masters in a 'masters' directory,
and the projects in a 'projects' directory...
