Subject: 31.0.50; writing .abbrev_defs removes ‘lexical-binding’ cookie
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2025 11:24:09 +0200

With a new Emacs got warnings like

⛔ Warning (files): Missing ‘lexical-binding’ cookie in "~/.abbrev_defs".
You can add one with ‘M-x elisp-enable-lexical-binding RET’.
See ‘(elisp)Selecting Lisp Dialect’ and ‘(elisp)Converting to Lexical 
Binding’
for more information.

Fixed that by inserting the cookie.

After defining a new abbreviation and saying ‘yes’ when prompted for 
saving of the abbrev-file, the cookie is gone.

With a new Emacs the warning appears again.

Should be fixed now, so I'm closing this bug.
