[R-sig-ME] Predictions from lme and lmer models

[Ben Bolker]

  See the "re.form" argument ... re.form=~0 or re.form=NA gives
population-level predictions (level-0). The interface has changed a bit
because lme4 can handle more complex models than nlme (specifically, it
can fit non-nested models, so "which random effects are included" is
potentially a more complex question than "which levels are included").
