#' Revoke a Qualification from a Worker
#'
#' Revoke a Qualification from a worker or multiple workers. This deletes their
#' qualification score and any record thereof.
#'
#' A simple function to revoke a Qualification assigned to one or more workers.
#'
#' \code{RevokeQualifications()}, \code{revokequal()} and
#' \code{DisassociateQualificationFromWorker()} are aliases.
#'
#' @aliases RevokeQualification RevokeQualifications revokequal
#' DisassociateQualificationFromWorker
#' @param qual A character string containing a QualificationTypeId.
#' @param workers A character string containing a WorkerId, or a vector of
#' character strings containing multiple WorkerIds.
#' @param reasons An optional character string, or vector of character strings
#' of length equal to length of the \code{workers} parameter, supplying each
#' worker with a reason for revoking their Qualification. Workers will see this
#' message.
#' @param verbose Optionally print the results of the API request to the
#' standard output. Default is taken from \code{getOption('pyMTurkR.verbose',
#' TRUE)}.
#' @return A data frame containing the QualificationTypeId, WorkerId, reason
#' (if applicable), and whether each request was valid.
