Implement a shortcut to switch between two sets of projection + imagery

Description
The idea is to allow a quick change-over between two sources of imagery that do not share the same projection.
It is the case in France, where the principal sources are
Bing imagery with Mercator projection
Cadastre with Lambert conical projection.
Multiple switches are a bit painful with current interface, as it is necessary to modify projection in the parameters dialog.
Being able to select multiple combination of imagery layers and associated projection would be very helpfull.

Auto reprojection seems like a more useful thing to me as well, but the ability to switch between two sources of imagery with a key would be nice as this would allow you to "blink compare" the two sources and look for changes between them.

I would like that switch as well, and even having the current projection shown in the status bar would help a lot.

JOSM is now capable of reprojecting imagery, see #7427.
Thus this functionality is not needed anymore :)
I prefere an automatic reprojection with no need to change projection anymore (like merkaartor does), but meanwhile this would save quite some mouse clicks.
