Well, the symbols are in the global obarray, but the namespace system
can resolve them to variable bindings in a lexical way.

When you first brought up the idea of namespacing over bindings, and
called your proposal lexspaces, I thought this would be similar to how
most (all?) Scheme module systems work: the namespace system resolves
symbols (globally visible an EQ) to bindings in a lexical way (scoped
to the module definition and resolvable at compile-time). The words
used were the same, and I assumed you were coming at this from a
Scheme angle.
