+The file that you save to will include a comma separated value tabular listing
+of the urls, and their result. The result options are "passed" and "failed"
+and the default header is `URL,RESULT`. All of these defaults are exposed
+if you want to change them (e.g., using a tab separator or a different header)
+if you call the function from within Python. Here is an example of the default file
+produced, which should satisfy most use cases:
