It might help if you say why do you write the line "-*- lexical-binding:
t -*-", and in particular why you did not add comment syntax (i.e. semi
colons) at the beginning of it. What doc did you read that lead you to
write that ?

I might indeed suggest that in
(info "(elisp) Using Lexical Binding")
a direct xref to
(info "(emacs) Specifying File Variables")
could help to know what "first line" means in that context, because it's
not obvious from the elisp manual itself.
