That's exactly what I mean.

Sorry, but I do not understand your concern.

What I have in mind is that `org-export-as' will return a list of
strings + INFO. INFO will contain data about which files to use for
saving the strings. Then, the caller does the saving and whatever is
necessary. If we write to files from `org-export-as' it will be a
massive breaking change in the expected behavior.
