[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

You should (setq lexical-binding t) before running it (and note that's
buffer-local, I've been bitten by that several times).  With lexical
binding my original example should work (with the fix, as John pointed out,
that the argument should be &optional).

Thanks Andreas for the quick fix! :-)
