I was thinking about this:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-06/msg00260.html

It's not set in stone, but since the author is a current Emacs  
maintainer, I think it's likely.
The "lexbind" branch has been in the Emacs CVS code for some time now,  
but Emacs 23 has been in feature freeze for a while too.

It looks like that's about the common-lisp compatibility package Emacs  
includes.  I don't know how similar that lexical-let is to what Miles  
Bader has been doing on the lexbind branch.  Nor can I tell you how  
they'll compare to Scheme; I've never used either of the Emacs versions.
