Add a print method?

It might be nice to have a simpler print method for this, which quickly summarizes the contents. What do you think?

I drafted a print method in the master branch. Then decided that it might be showing too much boring stuff, and stripped down the method further in the simple-print branch.

I think we need both a stripped down display form and an everything display form.

The modelling functions like lm have a very minimal print method and a more verbose summary method.

Vectors and data frames work the other way around, with print showing everything and summary showing less. This makes a bit more sense to me intuitively, but I don't know what the best practice is.

Thanks! I agree, let's have a summary() method that does the simple printing.

print and summary now in a form I'm reasonably happy with.

Thanks!

PS poio is really, really awesome. It was such a breeze to integrate it into msgtools.

richierocks commented

Thanks!

Just looking at your updates to msgtools now. Very nice so far. Are there any issues you want me to work on?

I don't think so. I'll try to get a first cut on CRAN by the weekend. Really just need to finish the vignette and add tests at this point.
