Hi Miles,
I don't have time to read and reply to your message properly right now,
but just to say that I partly implemented lexical support a while ago
(having thought about it for years). The interpreter is fully lexically
scoped (including closures), and the bytecode interpreter supports new
opcodes for lexical support. I started making changes to the byte
compiler to generate the new op-codes, but ran out of time.
I believe I last updated my patches for 20.7. I'll dig them out and
send them to you.
I'll reply in detail to your message later.
Cheers,
AndrewI
