I totally buy the argument that the custom scan stuff is
underdocumented :-(.
FWIW, if we did have a use-case showing that somebody would like to make
custom scans that can't project, the way to do it would be to add a flag
bit showing whether a particular CustomPath/CustomScan could project or
not. Not to assume that they all can't. This wouldn't be that much code
really, but I'd still like to see a plausible use-case before adding it,
because it'd be a small API break for existing CustomPath providers.
