indeed "!"  -- my fault.

Note that at the R sprint 2023,  printCoefmat() has been one of
the small topics
 
https://contributor.r-project.org/r-project-sprint-2023/projects/tweak-printCoefmat/

on which we hoped to make progress -- also prompted by your (Shu
Fai) good question, on this list,
  https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2023-July/477688.html

on how to improve the details of the  `zap.ind` setting.

Whereas the R sprint project lead to some investigations, but
unfortunately did not yet lead to improve the code generally
... even though we *did* try some changes, but IIRC they all had
their flaws and hence were not good enough to warrant a change
of code.

So, for now, we should at least change that part of the help
page -- finally!

Hi all,

Just a minor issue that I am not sure whether this is considered a
"bug." It is about the help page.

In the help page of printCoefmat(), for the argument 'eps.Pvalue', the
description is as below:

number, ..

I have to read the source to figure out that this argument is to be
used by format.pval().

Maybe the description of 'eps.Pvalue' can be revised to refer users to
the help page of format.pval()?


That looks like an oversight by the author of the help page.  It's been 
there for at least 20 years!
