bug#8332: Acknowledgement (24.0.9999; lexbind-new branch errors on M-x describe-variable lexical-binding)

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi!

I just found out, that this does not happen with

  emacs -Q --eval '(setq lexical-binding t)'

so it has to be some of my configs...

After some bisectioning, I found out the culprit is anything.
Commenting out

  (require 'anything)

in my .emacs, so I'll Cc-ed Thierry and Rubykitch.

BTW, the error is not specific to `describe-variable'.  I get these
errors for all describe commands.  For example, that's what I get with
M-x describe-function next-line.
