I have a vector of logLik values that I'd like to return and it would  
be nice
if the the print method didn't run them together.  Could I make a plea  
for
using sep = " ", rather than sep = "" in print.logLik?

well, "yes" to the plea to make the method ameanable to better
printing of *several* values,
but "no" to just changing sep there:
We'd want to implement a change which is compatible
for the usual cases of having only one value 
and your propsal would change all those outputs as well.

Wouldn't you even prefer to see something like

	 'log.Lik' 12.3, 7.89, 34.2  (df = 3)

i.e., with "," between the values?

Martin

Commas would be fine especially if there were  spaces too,
as in your example.  I was just trying to suggest something
mimimalist ;-)

Cheers,
