[R-sig-ME] Is there a final-ish format for lme4 objects now?

[Paul Johnson]

Greetings:

Long ago, I wrote a function "outreg" to make LaTeX tables for
regressions.  Now I've put it in a package
called rockchalk.  Because I put it in a package on CRAN, people I
don't know write to me saying
"it works for lm and glm, but what about lme4".

In 2008 or so, I had tried to incorporate lme4 output, but I ran into
the trouble. Version changes
of lme4 regularly broke my output code.  I asked about it here, and
learned I was "jumping the gun" because
lme4 was still adjusting.

Has lme4 output reached a point where I can treat the output from lme4
functions as "more or less"
stable?  If I make the table maker function work with lme4 objects
(the stable CRAN version),  is that function
likely to also work with the development version of lme4?  I know the
class of the objects
changed from mer to merMod.  Is that a signal that I am again too
early to try to do this?
