Can I write a DelimitedFile with a header?

Hi,
I would like to save a matrix in txt format (I know there are better alternatives, but this is a two-liner). I can do that with

using DelimitedFiles
A = [[1 2]; [3 4]]
writedlm("./data.txt", A)

Can I also write a header in the file using writedlm? For example, the file would read

# This is my matrix A
1 2
3 4

Thanks

Sure:

julia> using DelimitedFiles

julia> a = [[1 2]; [3 4]]
2×2 Array{Int64,2}:
 1  2
 3  4

julia> open("data.txt"; write=true) do f
         write(f, "# This is my matrix A\n")
         writedlm(f, a)
       end

shell> cat data.txt
# This is my matrix A
1       2
3       4
