This only works for org-export, but not for org-export-as-XXX.

Additionally, it appears that setting org-confirm-babel-evaluate locally
does not have an effect on background exports. Even setting it globally
in a running Emacs instance won't work; the command has to be in a file
that is loaded during Emacs startup.

The help contains the following text which I don't understand:

  This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value
  satisfies the predicate which is byte-compiled expression.

Cheers,
Viktor
