Then, ultimately, there will not be any dynamic binding?  From my point of view,
the docstring should have nothing to do with either dynamic or lexical binding.

The latest discussion has centered around using

(put 'myfunc 'function-documentation <doc-string>)

And that lexical binding would become default, but not yet.
