Well, it *can*, of course, access any new lexical bindings introduced
in the expression being EVAL'd, as well as any lexical bindings
previously closed over by functions called by the EVAL'd code. You
didn't really mean to exclude those when you said "/no/ lexical ones",
did you?

To me, to say that "a form is evaluated in the null lexical environment"
means that the *current* lexical environment is not accessible.
