It's also called "static scoping". And the name doesn't have much to do
with the implementation technique used. It's called "lexical" because
the way a particular identifier use is matched to a particular variable
only depends on the shape of the program text rather than depending on
its run-time behavior.

No. CBV/CBR/CBN are orthogonal concepts to static/dynamic scoping.

Put -*- lexical-binding:t -*- somewhere on the first line of your Elisp file.
