Re: st: xi3 and multilevel commands

It would be nice if Stata was a little more sophisticated than xi.  
Making xi3 official and supported would be a good start. Better would  
be to have capability matching the R factor and ordered factor  
features. In R you simply designate a variable to be treated as a  
factor, set contrast type, and away you go.
