It is possible to have similar interfaces with different
implementations, using `cond-expand'.  lily.scm does this in one case,
implementing 2.0 interfaces on 1.8.

I'll take a look at implementing something like this.

To summarize your issue: you have code like:

  (lambda (a b c)
    #{ here I have custom code that references lexical variables;
       should it be able to set them too?  }#) 

It would be relatively easy to pass in an alist of the lexicals, for
reference purposes; but do you want to be able to set them too, from
within that EDSL?
