Echoing Robby, I'm not totally clear what you mean here.

I assume you mean that things like struct-copy, the lazy struct
contracts, and struct-out would all have to change. I'm already
compatible with struct-copy and I expect we could make those other
things compatible too.

If we couldn't, then I don't think we can reasonably call them the
same thing and let the users suffer.
