summary.default rounding on numeric seems inconsistent with other R behaviors
It is the old story of defined behaviour and expected outcomes. Hard to
change now.
So I would suggest you do something like this in your ~/.Rprofile:
R> smry <- function(...) summary(..., digits=6)
R> smry(155555L)
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
155555 155555 155555 155555 155555 155555
R>
Maybe call it Summary() instead.

yes, do use a different name. There other such functions, 'summarize()'.

summary.default rounding on numeric seems inconsistent with other R behaviors
I was wondering if it would make sense to change the default behavior of the following:
summary(15555L)
## Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
## 15560 15560 15560 15560 15560 15560
summary.default on numeric values rounds values (not just presentation) to getOption("digits")-3L (or four) digits by default, making those values surprising and less suitable for
