#til (or rather, Today I Realized) that in #elisp, you cannot call a variable with a lambda function in a let
expression:
(let ((f (lambda (s) (message s))))
(funcall f "This works.")
(f "This does not work."))
This is because function names and variable names live in separate namespaces in Emacs Lisp and Common #Lisp.
