That's a bit of over simplification:
- Lots of code still having the 'module' statement (LuaRocks, coxpcall, 
  copas, to new very commonly used ones). Easy to fix as it is a compile 
  time error if I'm not mistaken
- unpack <-> table.unpack seen this quite a few times, tricky one as it 
  only fails at runtime. So for edge cases it won't be easily spotted.
  Otoh probably still in the compat area.
