lp.projects['fooprojectgroup'] happens to work because launchpadlib's
ProjectSet generates a URL of /fooprojectgroup, and that URL namespace
is shared between projects, distributions and project groups. The
returned interfaces are heterogeneous because of exactly the hack that
Ian proposes as the easy solution -- indexing a client-defined
collection like ProjectSet just generates a URL with a known structure
and requests that resource, respecting whatever resource type is returned.
