I'm trying to figure out how to use limits.tilt when my original
statistic doesn't include any weights.  I compute various 2x2
contingency table statistics, and would like to use limits.tilt to get a
better CI for them. Unfortunately, the stats that I compute don't
include any weights. In the past, I've kludged in some phantom weights
such that there is a place holder for them in limits.tilt, but that's
not very satisfying and can be difficult if I didn't write the function. 

I've read the help, and have tried various things, but I can't seem to
get anything to work. So, I appeal to people a lot smarter than I am: in
general, if my statistic does not include any "weights," how can I
satisfy the requirement for them in limits.tilt?
