Patch to enable lexical-binding and improve evil-delay

[monnier]

I pushed to the scratch/evil branch of nongnu.git a patch which enables lexical-binding in all the files and replaces the evil-delay function (which has to work via the awful eval) with an evil-with-delay macro which lets the byte-compiler properly see and compile the code.

Cool, sounds interesting. What URL do I git clone?

@monnier are you sure that branch is there/accessible? I get

Cloning into 'elpa'...
warning: Could not find remote branch scratch/evil to clone.

Hmm... yeah, that was meant to say

git clone --single-branch -b scratch/evil
git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs/nongnu.git

or

git remote add -t scratch/evil elpa-scratch \
           git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs/nongnu.git

I've brought this in as a branch on evil and opened a PR, linked. You'll see there are 3 failed tests. Please take a look when convenient - I'm not sure I'll have the time for a while. Cheers
