 I've got the ~project-prefix-map~ on the key =p= in [[*with-map-defkey][my-key-map]].
-Interestingly, you have to assign the /actual/ prefix map, not the
-symbol to the keybinding. My key macro doesn't evaluate it so it doesn't
-quite work.
+Interestingly, in order to refer to a a prefix map with a quoted symbol
+like you would a command, the keymap must be in the symbol's function
+definition place. The ~project.el~ package doesn't do this, which is normally
+done with ~define-prefix-command~ (in my experience). In order to make
+this prefix map work correctly with the ~with-map-defkey~ macro, we set
+the ~symbol-function~ place on the ~project-prefix-map~ to be the value,
+the actual keymap structure, of the ~project-prefix-map~ symbol. 😵
