Subject: Broken ediff in master (and the bulk lexical scope patches)
Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2019 16:55:33 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7no92sc6yi.fsf@ecube.ecubist.org> (raw)

After building from Emacs master on June 15, I found that the ediff
function no longer works, responding with:

ediff-files-internal: Symbol's value as a variable is void: file-A

This seem to be due to lisp/vm/ediff.el being compiled with lexical
bindings (explicitly).  ediff-files-internal calls ediff-find-file with
its file arguments quoted (as it expects).

How is such code going to be approached?
