I'm sorry to nit, but Emanuels write-string-to-file differs from
append-to-file in that it ensures the file includes (only) string while
append-to-file, well, appends string to the file at the end, if it
exists.
That makes write-string-to-file are more useful building block in the
context of the question of the OP, IMHO. But it's musing anyway.
