The computations done by print.survfit are now a part of the results returned by
summary.survfit. See 'table' in the output list of ?summary.survfit. Both
call an internal survmean() function to ensure that any future updates stay in
synchrony.
This was a perennial (and justified) complaint with print.survfit. Per the
standard print(x) always returns x, so there was no way to get the results of
the print as an S object.
