It is the old story of defined behaviour and expected outcomes. Hard to change now.
So I would suggest you do something like this in your ~/.Rprofile: R> smry <- function(...) summary(..., digits=6) R> smry(155555L) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 155555 155555 155555 155555 155555 155555 R> Maybe call it Summary() instead.
