[R] help on retrieving output from by( ) for regression

Sorry to reply to my own post, but in reviewing the NAMESPACE file for
lme4, it looks like Doug is perhaps planning to add additional model
object accessor methods for the lmList class, including resid() and
summary(), which are commented out now. coef() is available presently. 

So when in place, it would appear that the use of lmList would be
advantageous over the use of by().
