Print information about a PP3 object.

1 2	## S3 method for class 'PP3' print(x, ...)

`x`	PP3 object to print
`...`	Other arguments (not used)

Prints information about a PP3 object. Primarily, the names of the components, the number of random starts that were used, the biggest (maximised) projection index that was found, and how many random starts achieved the max, and the index numbers of those. Then summary.PP3 is applied.
