Sooner or later we should call on the user community to fix programs
to work with lexical binding if possible, and to explicitly specify
which type of binding.
After a year or two of that, I suggest making the next Emacs release
so that it warns when it loads a file that doesn't explcitly specify
lexical or dynamic.
A year or two after that. all packages people use will explicitly
specify lexical or not. At that point, we could safely change the
default, if we want to.
