[R] summary and min max

[Robert Duval]

Has anyone created an alternative summary method where the rounding is
made only for digits to right of the decimal point?

I personally don't like the way summarize works on this particular
issue, but I'm not sure how to modify it generically...

(of course one can always set digits=something_big but this is not
elegant and unpractical when one doesn't know in advance the magnitude
of a number)
