[R] Extracting components from a 'boot' class output in R

[Tim Hesterberg]

Sarath pointed out (privately) that the standard error is not actually
stored as part of the bootstrap object.

Instead, it is calculated on the fly when you print the bootstrap object;
this is done by
  boot:::print.boot
Similarly for bias.
(The 'boot:::' is necessary because 
"'print.boot' is not an exported object from 'namespace:boot'").
