Hm... That command describes the mode, and whether the current .el file uses lexical binding or not isn't really tied to the mode, so I think that sounds a bit confusing. The user may believe that we're talking about whether the mode uses lexical binding or not. > Even displaying it in mode-line might be an option. That does sound more useful -- I often find jumping back to the start of the buffer to check. `emacs-lisp-mode' could display that somewhere in the mode line, I guess? But where? Perhaps among the U:**- thing at the start? Or in the mode stuff? So instead of (Emacs-Lisp) we'd get (Emacs-Lisp Lexical) when we have lexical binding in the current buffer? Does anybody have an opinion here? --=20 (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
