Description
When building a wheel of my project the name of the wheel contain information like Python version, platform etc… this allow to determine on which kind of environment this wheel will mostly work.
When we create a shiv app, this app may also be compatible to only some environment depending on the source code in its site package.
I was wondering if there was any way to include the same info we got on wheel in the zipapp name so we can quickly now which kind of environment this zip app is compatible with.
May this could be part of shiv directly when we create the zip app?
Thanks!

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by tracing shiv's command-line path for creating a zipapp and compare its available metadata with wheel naming; done means the generated app name conveys the relevant compatibility information without breaking existing creation behavior.
