Wait..? What...?  Huh...?

This thing:  -*- lexical-binding: t; -*- ?

Now *that* wasn't obscure at all...! :-)

But then this may be fixable after all.  I was going a bit crazy here
trying to figure out what was the difference between my code and the
code that worked.

(And I see from this thread that I'm not alone in being confused)

So thanks to all that contributed!

Too many to respond to each individually! :-)
