[BlindRUG] VI() function does not do the alternative summary() job as before.

Ahha, now I found the problem Dr. Godfrey.

The VI() function does not support the alternative summary() function
for a specified variable.
Since my dataset is really large, I need to use summary function for a
specific continuous variable.
Say for example, we can use summary function like this: summary(df$variable)
However, the VI() function does not support this VI(df$variable).

Could you please add this capability?
Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

JooYoung
