Description

This issue is to keep track of dependents who forget to re-alias the results when updating them (see https://juliadiff.org/DiffResults.jl/stable/#DiffResults.DiffResult).
These packages incorrectly call

do_stuff!(result, args...)

when they should do

result = do_stuff!(result, args...)

List of dependents: https://juliahub.com/ui/Packages/General/DiffResults

List of misbehaving dependents:
