No.  But converting existing dynamically scoped code to lexical scoping
is usually pretty easy: set lexical-binding to t at the top of the file,
then byte-compile it, then fix the warnings, and you should be good to go.

Sometimes there's some extra tricks undetected by the simple checks
performed by the byte-compiler, so it doesn't always work as smoothly,
but in most cases it's really a straightforward process.
