I can't think of any, but such ABI breakages should be avoided.  The
preferred route for any such changes that require synchronisation
between dmd and druntime should be in order of:

1. Commit new functions/feature to druntime as dead/unused code.
2. Commit changes to dmd which activates the feature you added to druntime.
3. Add/turn on tests in both dmd and druntime.
