I thought that CL already implemented lexical binding? At least within
a let form (or "lexical-let").
If emacs just went to using lexical binding in the large, I suspect
that it would cause lots of problems with existing packages. I have
used dynamic scoping to achieve ends in the past, which might be a bit
nasty, but it does work!
Cheers
