I do hope we're taking Alan's concern seriously here, all joking aside. This
change pretty harshly violates the "principle of least surprise", and working
with lexical-scope still isn't the norm for most old school Emacs Lispers. I'm
not sure I wuold have ever discovered the solution to such a problem in my own
debugging, had I not chanced on this discussion thread.
What are we gaining, again, at the cost of this potential confusion?
