Walter and I wanted to have a positive example of a good DIP that is

We believe the feature's benefits are significant, obvious, and
immediate. With this feature, any large project would be able to
radically clarify and improve its dependency structure with only
little refactoring work. I interpret the negative feedback as failings
of the DIP to explain and argue matters appropriately, so I'm working
hard on improving it. Please keep feedback coming.
A suggestion: Now that the proposal details are largely fleshed out,
take a file from phobos and rewrite it in the new style. Should give
insight into aesthetics and identify remaining issues to resolve.
I also submit this as evidence:

This was a successful attempt to convert all imports to selective
imports in std.array. It was a very difficult process that took a long
time, as shown in the comment.
