[R] summary for factors is not very informative

summary() for a factor prints:

     ColName
  SNDK  :  72
  VXX   :  36
  MWW   :  30
  ACI   :  28
  FRO   :  28
 (Other):1801

it would have been much more useful if it additionally
printed frequency stats as if by
summary(aggregate(frame$ColName,by=list(frame$ColName),FUN=length)$x)
