This function just appends a timestamp (format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS), separated by
an underscore (_) to whatever x is (so, x is coerced to character).
By default, it assumes x is a path and then adds the timestamp before
the last extension (if there is any).
timestamp_it(x, is_path = TRUE)a character or an object coercible to character
logical to indicate if x is a path, then it removes extension before appending the timestamp
a character appending a timestamp to x
