I'm thinking about implementing optional lexical evaluation of forms
given to Eshell. My intuition is to just use the buffer-local
`lexical-binding' variable to determine whether or not to evaluate forms
with lexical bindings. Does anyone have a better idea?

And would anyone that already knows the code like to volunteer?

I'd venture a guess that you can change to lexical-binding all-hog and
no user will notice.

I'm not a native speaker, and have never really learned the exact
meaning, but my understanding of it is a mix of "all the way",
"bluntly", and "without looking back".

Will no one notice because no one uses it?
By the way, IELM already does evaluation with lexical binding according
to the value of lexical-binding. I didn't know that. I think I'll just
use ielm instead of eshell.

FYI, the phrase is "whole hog", typically in the idiom "go whole hog"
(in American English; in British English the idiom is apparently "go the
whole hog"). It's similar to "go all out", which you may also have been
thinking of.

I think in this case Stefan's exact meaning would likely be captured
by "go for it" (or more CC ("commercially correct" :-) but not as
exact) "Just Do It".
The "whole hog" has somewhat sloppy connotations, BTW. I'd never say
that *to* one of my contributors with the meaning of "go right ahead
(do whatever you want)", though it surely would be appropriate to say
*of* Ben Wing that he frequently "goes the whole hog." :-)
