Hello,

having only lexical-binding: t in "thunk.el"'s header is not sufficient:
to make thunks work ok, `thunk-delay' needs lexical-binding when the
expansion is run.

Try e.g. something trivial as

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun my-thunk-test ()
  (thunk-force (thunk-delay (+ 1 2))))
#+end_src

This compiles ok, but executing (my-thunk-test) without lexbind enabled
gives you a meaningless error like "void-variable: forced".

I think we should document (in the file header) that lexical-binding
mode is required when thunks are created with `thunk-delay'.  I think we
could additionally raise an error in the expansion of `thunk-delay' when
lexical-binding -> nil.


TIA,

Michael.
