Feature Request: Support for (n)lme?

[billdenney]

Would you consider supporting nlme/lme models in the nlme library? (It appears that you already support nlmer and lmer models.)

Thanks Bill.
Happy to look at this, if you wanted to work on it together. How would you want the output to appear? The package does: model fitting -> extract results -> condense results -> add metrics.
Model fitting could be left within nlme, extraction could be done with broom::tidy() if appropriate (package wasn't available when I wrote the original extraction functions), meaning we could focus on producing condensed results for final publication. How should those appear?
Could you give some guidance using e.g.

fm1 <- lme(distance ~ age, data = Orthodont) # random is ~ age
fm2 <- lme(distance ~ age + Sex, data = Orthodont, random = ~ 1)
summary(fm1)
summary(fm2)

Hi Bill
How would you normally present these results?
