Here's a key to the markup:
	[page-number]: serious technical mistake
	{page-number}: minor technical mistake
	<page-number>: important language/formatting problem
	(page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
	?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification



Confirmed errors:


(11)  1st paragraph, 1st line;
"there is is only" should read "there is only"


(48)  last (3rd) line of sample code in the "Zip Operator" section;
The line of code that demonstrates the zip operator seems to have a spurious "boolean
not" symbol immediately before the "broken bar" symbol (which looks like a capital L
flipped backwards and then rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise)


{69}  The end of the last sentence of the third paragraph.;
The sentence ending:
"and the rest of the signature with a semi-colon:"
should say:
"and the rest of the signature with a colon:"


[118]  1st paragraph, 2 occurences;
DEFANGED_object
should be:
object

(119) footnote;
DEFANGED_Objective C is particularly simple...
should be:
Objective C is particularly simple...



{127}  Footnote;
The range of 32-bit integers is given as -231 to +231-1. 
This should be:  -2^31 to +2^(31)-1.



[142]  2nd section, first para, 3rd line;
"Logical operations are implemented for integers and PMCs."

But it then gives true/false values for float numerics and strings,

The definition of the truth of values should be moved to page 149 into "conditional branches".


(157)  3rd last paragraph;
Change:
  The store_lexand find_lex opcodes
to:
  The store_lex and find_lex opcodes


{163}  3 lines before Table 9-5;
"the rest of the parameters" should read "the rest of the characters"
