at least for phobos, it breaks almost nothing. and where it does some breckage, it identifies invalid code that relies on import bugs anyway. the same with some projects i tried to build, like deadcode, for example (which is fairly big): this PR breaks only invalid code, i.e. code that relies on current buggy import and should be fixed anyway. yet, there is surprisingly small amount of such code, literally along 10 or so patches for phobos (and that number constantly decreases), and not much more for deadcode (but for deadcode the fixes was a little more complicated, as i have to add some qualifiers in some modules). i'm using DMD with that patch incorporated for more a year now, and got no problems with code that doesn't rely on import bugs.
