Doing this based on the existence of the file causes a problem in my opinion. Let's say I ran this before at some point and the file exists with an old set of tests. Now I run the test suite and got new failures I want to store. I forget to remove the file and run with --lf=failed.txt. Now the old set of tests is used, the new set is gone and I have to re-run the whole suite, which is exactly what I wanted to prevent in the first place.
