_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This method function extracts the column names of each of the
     positive-definite matrices represented the 'pdMat' elements of
     'object'.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'reStruct':
     Names(object, ...)
     ## S3 replacement method for class 'reStruct':
     Names(object, ...) <- value

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: an object inheriting from class 'reStruct', representing a
          random effects structure and consisting of a list of 'pdMat'
          objects.

   value: a list of character vectors with the replacement values for
          the names of the individual 'pdMat' objects that form
          'object'. It must have the same length as 'object'.

     ...: some methods for this generic require additional arguments. 
          None are used in this method.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     a list containing the column names of each of the
     positive-definite matrices represented by the 'pdMat' elements of
     'object'.

_S_I_D_E _E_F_F_E_C_T_S:

     On the left side of an assignment, sets the 'Names' of the 'pdMat'
     elements of 'object' to the corresponding element of 'value'.
