I'm not familiar with the lexical binding branch. Is there a developer
guide for ensuring compatibility with that branch? And are you (and
Stefan) asking the Gnus developers to invest time in that compatibility?
The reason I ask is that Gnus is full of creative solutions using eval
and macros so I'd like to make sure we don't approach this as a single
fix for the lexical binding branch that suddenly sets the expectation
that the rest of Gnus has to be compatible as well.
