#' Numerical Summary of a Random Variable
#' 
#' Gives a numerical summary of the random variable in the format of a data
#' frame.
#' 
#' The objects are first coerced to \code{rvsummary} objects, then passed on to
#' the \code{summary.rvsummary} method, which creates a nicely formatted data
#' frame of the object.

#' @aliases summary.rv summary.rvfactor summary.rvmixed summary.rvsummary
#' summary.rvsummary_numeric summary.rvsummary_integer
#' summary.rvsummary_logical summary.rvsummary_rvfactor
#' @param object object to summarize
#' @param all.levels show summary for all levels even if there are too many to
#' display in one line
#' @param \dots rv object
