I do not like this idea.

Do note that page breaks may or may not lay between paragraphs or Org
elements. By its nature, page break is an object (in Org terminology).

I do understand your desire to allow putting page breaks before
headings. However, I think that proliferation of such export options is
a mistake. Instead, we should provide a generic way to define pre/post
text when exporting headings. We do discuss :export_templates in the
other thread, and we may as well define something similar but for
including the normal Org markup. (It should not be a property - I'd
rather have Org markup to be placed directly into the document and not
hidden inside properties drawer).

In any case, I'd rather discuss the question of putting staff prior to
exported heading in the :export_template thread.
