[R] More digits in prediction using random forest object

[Liaw, Andy]

How many trees are you growing in the forest?  If you grow a 100-tree
forest, the possible predictions (for a two-class data) would simply be 

{0, 0.01, 0.02, ..., 0.99, 1}

Then, of course, if you only grow three trees, the predictions can only
be

{0, 1/3, 2/3, 1}

You can ask for as many digits as R can give you, but it won't do you
any good.
