Sorry for bad wording, I meant the latter. And this is why I did not ask this
before: easy, _provided_ we have the covariance matrix of the estimators. Now
I have the answer also for this, so it is really straight. (I still do not
know, how summarize() gets it, since in a lm.model, I have not found the
underlying data for it [or overlooked]. The reason I did not do a X'X was that
I believe that this is expensive. I have not tried, but my previous
experiences (again: Stata) tells me this. Or am I wrong, and this is cheap in R?

Sure, this is not an issue.

Same appies.

Thank you,
