Jeph Herrin <[email protected]> is trying to work with the -r(table)- matrix
result after -svy: mean- when run -quietly-:

To be clear, we assume that Jeph has not changed the default for
'set coeftabresults', see -help set coeftabresults-. The default behavior
is for estimation commands to store the coefficient table results in -r()-
even when they are run quietly.
Jeph discovered that -svy: mean- is not storing this information in -r()- even
when it should.
This is unintended behavior and isolated to
mean
proportion
ratio
total
with or without the -svy:- prefix.
We hope to have this fixed in a future ado-file update.
