[ BTW, let's not forget that most of the lexical-binding code was
  written by Miles.  ]
An important difference is that the code involved in lexical-binding
(or in the buffer-local bindings which I rewrote around the same time)
is platform independent.  So it does not depend on trying to imagine
what might happen on this and that long-forgotten system which used some
particular unusual combination of CPP flags.
