Subject: bug#8460: 24.0.50; Doc string of `lexical-binding'
Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2011 11:06:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <17D4B6B946FD4F9EB9FF1E76E746E68D@us.oracle.com> (raw)
It says that it "only applies to code evaluated by `eval-buffer' and
`eval-region'." That is at best misleading. `C-M-x' eventually calls
`eval-region', but a user would not guess that the doc string applies
also to `C-M-x'. It would perhaps be better to characterize the
situations where it does _not_ apply to code evaluation.
It is also misleading in that it is sufficient to visit a file, such as
`minibuffer.el', that has "-*- lexical-binding: t -*-" in its first
line, for the value to be non-nil and thus affect pretty much anything
you do in that buffer.
