 * Lisp changes in Emacs 23.1
 
-** New `function vector' type, including function currying
-The `function vector', or `funvec' type extends the old
-byte-compiled-function vector type to have other uses as well, and
-includes existing byte-compiled functions as a special case.  The kind
-of funvec is determined by the first element: a list is a byte-compiled
-function, and a non-nil atom is one of the new extended uses, currently
-`curry' for curried functions.  See the node `Funvec Type' in the Emacs
-Lisp Reference Manual for more information.
-
-*** New function curry allows constructing `curried functions'
-(see the node `Function Currying' in the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual).
-
-*** New functions funvec and funvecp allow primitive access to funvecs
-
+** The `lexical-binding' lets code use lexical scoping for local variables.
+It is typically set via file-local variables, in which case it applies to
+all the code in that file.
 
+** Lexically scoped interpreted functions are represented with a new form
+of function value which looks like (closure ENV lambda ARGS &rest BODY).
