    This said, there can be good reasons to force a lexical binding, when
    you fear that the code might be run in a context where the variable
    might happen to be defvar'd.

I am very skeptical of that claim.  It seems to me that if your local
variable is defvar'd by some other code, that is a kind of name
collision and that other code should use a different name which isn't
likely to collide with local variables.
