Wishlist: let active branches add to the exported filename

It is useful to give active branches opportunity to add to the filename of exported files. This way, exports with and without the branch won't collide. My common case: I make a test for my students, with answers in a answers branch. When I export this to pdf, I get test.pdf. After activating

I'll just mention that what I do is create a new master document that has the correct branches enabled. In addition to giving the new version of the document a new name, this is particularly useful when there are many branches. For example the paper version may have e.g. branches for Topic A and C
