 We need to use `write.table`, for example:

 {{{
 ## the data summary
 summary(y)
          date        users       downturns        upturns            lower

 # writing
 write("# some comments", file="data.csv")
 write("# some more comments", file="data.csv", append = TRUE)
 write.table(y, file="data.csv", append = TRUE, quote=FALSE, sep=",",
 row.names = FALSE)
 }}}

 Yields:
 {{{
 # some comments
 # some more comments
 date,users,downturns,upturns,lower,upper
 2018-01-01,787,FALSE,FALSE,369,1319
 2018-01-02,754,FALSE,FALSE,427,1268
 2018-01-03,791,FALSE,FALSE,485,1107
 2018-01-04,823,FALSE,FALSE,452,1119
 ...
 }}}

 >  - we'll be able to re-use quite some content from the current
 stats.html.

 True, shortened versions of these explanations.
