Many have the offending PR already identified, so skip those. The others will
often say "worked in DMD x.xx and fails with DMD y.yy" where x.xx < y.yy.
The idea is then to use digger to determine which change caused the failure:
https://github.com/CyberShadow/Digger
Just pick any where success/failure is pretty clear and the failing example is
clear.
Even doing just one will be useful.
Thanks!
