* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (byte-compile-warning-types): New type `lexical' for warnings related to lexical scoping. (byte-compile-file-form-defvar, byte-compile-defvar): Warn about global vars which don't have a prefix and could hence affect lexical scoping in unrelated files.

This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions.  Byte-compiled
files are architecture-independent.

The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
certain terminal types.  When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
`term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
purpose.
