[R-sig-ME] glmmTMB: profile confidence interval scale

[Ben Bolker]

   This is a documentation bug, will fix.

   If you go to the *current* (online) version of the 'covstruct' 
vignette (which is what was meant to be referred to, and which corrects 
an error found in the current version):  ρ=θ/sqrt(1+θ^2), where θ is the 
Cholesky-scale parameter and rho is the correlation.
