In fact, making use of dynamic scoping is done *very* often in Emacs.
But in almost all cases, the variables dynamically bound have
previously been defined via defvar, so making those variables behave
dynamically gives you the best of both worlds.
Michael Sperber has done a code audit of the XEmacs Lisp code, IIRC,
and found no or few problems with this approach for lexical/dynamic
scoping.
