I'd really like to write "end suppose" in the camera-ready version of my paper.

I really think this would help clarity sometimes. Can't say for sure, since I haven't read math papers in a while.

I'd like to have such structure, at least as metadata. I wonder if you can have interactive PDFs (like, e.g. alt text when your rest your mouse on a proof).

You can certainly have links. So you could hack up a macro that puts in an endnote, and pdflatex would put in a link to the reference.

Edit: Or you could google before saying such silly things, and realize that there *is* of course already a package called 'endnote' [no relation to EndNote(TM)] to do exactly this.

so you mean the endnote would essentially be an appendix, containing the metadata or the formatted proof?

Right, that's my vision. You'd say informal bullshit\endnote{formal proof}, therefore I rule.

can one change a parameter to produce an endnote-less PDF, for the camera-ready submission?

presumably
\renewcommand{\endnote}[1]{}

Often, this ought to be obvious from context. If it isn't obvious, you ought to remind the reader what you're doing and what "suppose" you're closing off.

how do you refer to the different supposes in the context? by line number?

Ideally you can describe what you're doing. ("This completes the argument by contradiction showing that ...")
