Right. These are not *good* solutions, but they're expedient.
A way to kick the can a bit further down (I hope the
non-lexical-binding mode will disappear before next century).
The right solution is to fix the code so it works correctly with
lexical-binding, which is usually a matter of adding a few `defvar`s or
`require`s, but it takes more effort and knowledge.
Of course, in the vast majority of cases the old code should work
identically with lexical-binding as it did before.
