_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Prints class(x), nrow(x) and ncol(x), but not the elements of x.
     The motivation for having this method is that methods from the
     package 'base' such as 'print.matrix' and 'print.data.frame' will
     try to print the values of all elements of 'x', which can take
     inconveniently much time and screen space if 'x' is large.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'probetable':
     print(x, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: an object of S3-class 'probetable'.

     ...: further arguments that get ignored.
