Subject: Generic/method consistency in print and summary
In R 1.5.0 (and earlier):
> print
function (x, ...)
UseMethod("print")
> summary
function (object, ...)
UseMethod("summary")
Is there a reason for this inconsistency in the name of the object?
It makes a single help file for both functions look ugly, because it
has to document both "x" and "object", which are really the same
thing.
