qpci progress format should be tabular

[a-torgovitsky]

something like this

iter	lb	ub	test pt.	p-value	reject
1	-1	0	-.5	0	TRUE
2	-.5	0	-.25	.06	FALSE
3	-.5	-.25	-.375	.04	TRUE

with each new row printed after each iteration

so if progress = TRUE there should be two tables printed: One for the left endpoint, one for the right endpoint after the table, you can print why termination happened the same way you do now

[a-torgovitsky]

Also, summary should print

1. The call
2. The significance level
3. The two tables with termination messages

[conroylau]

Done!

[a-torgovitsky]

Looks good. A couple minor edits:

• Remove hyphen in end-pt.
• Put lower bound and upper bound columns to the left of test point column
• Make "Decision" column "Reject?" and change strings to boolean (TRUE/FALSE)
