Thanks a lot.
Most things that are "wrong" in the book should be in the
errata: http://erdani.com/tdpl/errata/
There are also some things that are not wrong in the book, but
have not been implemented.
I think the most glaring difference is that "clear" has been
renamed to "destroy".

Another thing that I found today is that the book suggests nested
structs within functions are of little use. I guess Voldemort
types were introduced into the language after the book was
published.
Should this be on the errata page? It's not exactly an error.
