\description{
This is like a transposed version of print: columns run down the page,
and data runs across. This makes it possible to see every column in
a data frame. It's a little like \code{\link{str}} applied to a data frame
but it tries to show you as much data as possible. (And it always shows
the underlying data, even when applied to a remote data source.)
}
\section{S3 methods}{

\code{glimpse} is an S3 generic with a customised method for \code{tbl}s and
\code{data.frames}, and a default method that calls \code{\link{str}}.
