Why would we put such behavior in autoloading?
If a file is to be autoloaded then it's up to that
file whether it should have `lexical-binding' be t.
And when we get to the point that it is t by default
there will presumably be nothing to do about that wrt
autoloading. At that point, loading a file - ANY
file, and regardless of how it is loaded (including
autoloaded) - will turn on lexical binding by default.
