I'm interested in this feature too so I wrote the attached patch which
implements it by adding the "--suffix=SUFF" option.

As this is my first contribution to this project, I'm not conformable
with coreutils coding standard or documentation needs, so feel free to
comment the submitted patch. I will take into account whatever you ask
for.
