the large example should use size_t instead of uint

  Andrei Alexandrescu (on behalf of bearophile)
8 1 The use of dictionary[word] in the dictionary code sample does not compile with dmd 2.050+. Instead, the code should use dictionary[word.idup] or dictionary[to!string(word)] to convert word of type char[] to type string, which is required by the dictionary. Also, splitter is in module std.algorithm, not std.string. Andrei Alexandrescu (on behalf of Caligo and Chris Saunders)
8 1 foreach(word; split(strip(line))) Should be foreach(word; splitter(strip(line))) for consistency with the example on page 8 and for better efficiency. Michal Mocny
8 1 The example doesn't compile on 64-bit because size_t is not convertible to uint. Change definition of dictionary from uint[string] to size_t[string], or cast newID to uint. Jonathan M Davis
8 1 In splitter(strip(line)), strip is redundant   G.J. Schreuder
12 1 idup used without a prior definition   Amaury Sechet (deadalnix)

Array expansion explanation suggests in a[] == ++i the right-hand side expression will be evaluated for each individual assignment,but that's not the case.

Text should clarify that scalars are only evaluated once in array expressions. Similarly, the case when the right-hand side slice is shorter than the left-hand side should be clarified. Shachar Shemesh

104 1 "...guaranteed good average performance..." is vague Text should specify whether it's O(1), an implementation detail, etc. In the latter case, for cases that need the amortized O(1) guarantee, it would be nice to know whether an insert would trigger an expansion, allowing some manual control over the amount of expansion (say, by assignment to length).

338 1 In the enumeration of the items that a module may start with, comments are missing. A module may start with a comment which has '/' as its first character (that character, being ASCII, doesn't affect adversely the autodetection process). Vladimir Panteleev

The "delegate" keyword is required, and the "..." must be present in the signature.

obj.addMethod(“sayHello”, Variant(Dynamic, Variant[]) { writeln(“Hello World!”); return Variant(); });

obj.addMethod(“sayHello”, delegate Variant(Dynamic self, Variant[] args…) { writeln(“Hello World!”); return Variant(); });

Better yet, the writeln call should be writeln(args[0]) and the invocation should be obj.printMsg("Hello, world!") to illustrate how parameter passing works.
