Should we have both `summarise_*` and `summarize_*`? about posterior HOT 8 CLOSED

I started working on some doc for the summaries on the doc-for-summaries branch that I just pushed. I can add this while working on that if neither of you are opposed.

That's fine for me! Thanks for working on it.

Ok I'll add it for now but if @mjskay has a good reason for not doing it we can always remove it before releasing.

The doc isn't fully complete but should be on the master branch now (along with the summarize_ aliases)

Closing this for now but will reopen if @mjskay wants (not trying to avoid discussion!)

Is it worth duplicating any more than the generic itself? I have seen you duplicating one method for draws objects but, for instance, not the default method. I would think that duplicating the generic should be sufficient. If people want to use specific methods explicitely, I think we can expect from them to use the summarise_draws version. What do you think?

from posterior.

Yeah you’re probably right that just doing the generic is enough. I’m on my phone now and not back at my computer for a few hours, so go ahead and change it now if you have time. If not I can do it later.

reopening (to have a reminder) until one of us does that
