[R] significant figures in summary()

[Andy Jacobson]

Howdy,

        Should summary() print answers with different numbers of
        significant figures, as in the following?

> dim(iv)
[1] 3000    2
> summary(iv)
       X1                 X2           
 Min.   :-4.15261   Min.   :-3.271520  
 1st Qu.:-0.66188   1st Qu.:-0.671205  
 Median : 0.01233   Median :-0.008175  
 Mean   : 0.01121   Mean   : 0.016815  
 3rd Qu.: 0.67778   3rd Qu.: 0.715284  
 Max.   : 3.73594   Max.   : 3.691423  
> summary(iv[,1])
    Min.  1st Qu.   Median     Mean  3rd Qu.     Max. 
-4.15300 -0.66190  0.01233  0.01121  0.67780  3.73600 
> summary(iv[,2])
     Min.   1st Qu.    Median      Mean   3rd Qu.      Max. 
-3.272000 -0.671200 -0.008175  0.016820  0.715300  3.691000 

          Thanks,
                Andy
