Expose target rendering format to report expressions
This will be useful when small changes should be applied to a report based on the current rendering format. 

For example the following expression will be possible:
= "Is the document PDF: " + RenderingExtension = "PDF"

This is critical to our organization.  Our users routinely export data to CSV format, make some changes, then import the changes.  Some of our database columns are defined as CHAR(n), and when they contain all numeric digits and are exported to CSV, Excel will consider them to be numbers and delete any leading zeroes.  When those records are saved in Excel and imported back to the database, a key field like "000123" in the database will not match up to 123 in the CSV file.  We would like to be able to export 000123 as ="000123" to avoid this issue.

Similarly, some tracking numbers from commercial shippers are more than 15 numeric positions and Excel will change this to scientific notation.
