Well I guess most recent example is that `final` by default
proposal - marking all existing functions as virtual ones
explicitly.
Problem with dfix is that such tool can't afford to be "best
effort" implementation if it is to be used as justification for
breaking changes. It needs to provide guaranteed 0-cost
transition or someone will be inevitably unhappy about the
breakage anyway :(
