Description:

     If present in the calling sequence used to produce 'object', the
     data frame used to fit the model is obtained.

Usage:

     ## S3 method for class 'lme':
     getData(object)

Arguments:

  object: an object inheriting from class 'lme', representing a linear
          mixed-effects fitted model.

     produced 'object', the corresponding data frame (with 'na.action'
     and 'subset' applied to it, if also present in the call that
