Cannot save Dict{Symbol}

When using DrWatson.jl's collect_results! with JLD as the desired output format, things break. Internally, it tries to store a Dict{Symbol,DataFrame} (see here; wsave is just a copy of FileIO's save).

ERROR: LoadError: Keys must be strings (the names of variables), got df

MWE:

using DrWatson, JLD, DataFrames

data = Dict("foo" => :bar)
mkdir("tmp")
save(joinpath("tmp", "a.jld"), data)
save(joinpath("tmp", "b.jld"), data)

collect_results!("results.jld", "tmp")

I don't know the internals/conventions for FileIO's save, so maybe this shouldn't be supported at all. However, using BSON as the output format, saving a Dict{Symbol} works just fine.
