Ok, but perhaps instead we can get a print at the end of how many files were
checked. I'm concerned about the case where we think we have checked something and
it's ok, when in fact we have actually had an error in our command and e.g. not checked
any files at all. The printing of the filename helps give a guarantee that the
script is doing the right thing, so if it goes away, I'd hope for some other method
to ensure that.
