emacs 31+ started emiting this warning for my custom Lisp files:
Warning (files): Missing ‘lexical-binding’ cookie in "~/.emacs.d/custom.el". You can add one with ‘M-x elisp-enable-lexical-binding RET’. See ‘(elisp)Selecting Lisp Dialect’ and ‘(elisp)Converting to Lexical Binding’ for more information.
