"sometime". On our agenda is releasing Emacs 23 with unicode-2. It is
not merged yet. Then there is some unspecified fate/timeline for bidi
support.
Pushing out lexical scope will be a somewhat harsh move with regard to
code compatibility and stuff. So it better happen _early_ in a release
cycle, in order to let third-party stuff catch up.
Personally, I would love to see code like
`(lambda (x) (1+ ',y))
go away rather sooner than later (it is not byte-compilable for one
thing), and
(lexical-let ((y y)) (lambda (x) (1+ y)))
is not really something I fancy. And anyway, when the binding goes, so
does the value.
