Well, most of the time the programmer wants core dumps in a project
directory, and not in other directories (unless they like reporting
bugs to other people).

What you could do is to automatically change your core dump size
whenever you change directories to your project directory.

Having appropriate entires in the file ./.dir might do it if you
redefined your cd command to be:

alias cd 'chdir \!*; if ( -f .dir && -o .dir ) source .dir '
