I read somewhere that in the future dynamic scoping of variables
in
Emacs Lisp will be replaced with static
scoping.
I don't want this to happen because I often need to make use of
the
following
idiom:
(let ((case-fold-search
t))
(foo))
Inside the foo function case-fold-search's value is set to t,
whatever
the global value for case-fold-
search.
Could someone please reassure me that this precious feature will
not
be removed?
