I haven't installed it either; waiting until The Timbot(tm) has had
his turn at brutalizing it, but I think it would be A Bad Thing(tm)
for LC's /not/ to be treated like a local function with their own
scope; while this edges into lexical closure territory, the
alternative leads to weird unintuitive things (at least in my view).
