Subject: Why is lexical-binding's global value ignored?
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 20:01:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <af3c501e9fb17d489e37cff10340c8ee@bitrot.link> (raw)
If somebody does (setq-default lexical-binding t), the intention is
obvious. But in current versions of Emacs, when loading a file that
doesn't specify a local value for lexical-binding, the global value is
ignored. Why?
IOW, what would break if the global value were honored? It defaults to
nil, which is already how files are loaded if no local value is
specified, so honoring the global wouldn't change anything by default.
