Section 8.3 of the manual should say: "luaL_typerror was removed.
Write your own version if you need it."

I understand that "deprecated" means "it is still there but don't use
it, we may remove it in a future version!" (eg. lua_cpcall or
luaL_register)  and "removed" means "it is no longer there, fix your
code now!" (eg. lua_getfenv)

OTOH, maybe the complete removal of luaL_typerror was a bug,  and the
function was really intended to be deprecated, still there but hidden
in some compatibility ifdef?
