Hm... That command describes the mode, and whether the current .el file
uses lexical binding or not isn't really tied to the mode, so I think
that sounds a bit confusing. The user may believe that we're talking
about whether the mode uses lexical binding or not.

That does sound more useful -- I often find jumping back to the start of
the buffer to check.
`emacs-lisp-mode' could display that somewhere in the mode line, I
guess? But where? Perhaps among the U:**- thing at the start? Or in
the mode stuff?
So instead of
(Emacs-Lisp)
we'd get
(Emacs-Lisp Lexical)
when we have lexical binding in the current buffer? Does anybody have
an opinion here?
