+  nothing. Everything that would change the picture or drop something is a warning: the pre-comp

+  3D, collapsing or soloed layer, or a layer with a blending mode or Preserve Transparency, preserves
+  a frame rate other than the comp's, has a motion-blur shutter other than the comp's (with motion
+  blur layers), or has an unparented layer with a Position expression while the pre-comp layer's
+  Position differs from its Anchor Point (the move is added to stored values only). Without
+  `force` such a call is an error listing every reason and nothing changes; `dryRun: true` returns
+  `{dryRun, warnings}` without changing anything. With `force: true` it unpacks anyway and returns
