Hi all,

I googled a bit, and could not find /real-world/ examples of using
lexical binding and its advantages /in Emacs Lisp/.  I understand that
it's a nice thing to be able to create closures, and that lexical
binding is in general faster than dynamic binding (which is a bonus in
itself), but could anyone show me a real /text editing/ problem that
lexical binding solves, like something that is easier done with
l.b. than with d.b.?  (Examples of general-purpose programming problems
made easier with l.b. are more or less obvious/easy to find, but Emacs
is a text editor, after all, and this is its primary area.)

TIA,
