I've glanced over the paper, it has to do with the analysis of when
dynamic bindings can be replaced with lexical ones, to produce faster
and more readable Scheme as output.  It could help do a static
translation of lots of elisp files, but the analysis is probably too
slow to use when loading .el files in normal usage.  For example,
pop3.el took over two minutes to analyze, though it was the worst of
the test cases they listed.

The "related work" section mentions both Keisuke's work and mine,
among others.
