_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     The inverse of the standard deviations corresponding to the
     variance function structure represented by 'object' are returned.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     varWeights(object)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: an object inheriting from class 'varFunc', representing a
          variance function structure.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     if 'object' has a 'weights' attribute, its value is returned; else
     'NULL' is returned.
