Quick and dirty workaround (untested):

#+LATEX_HEADER: \def\ic!#1!{{\footnotesize [~#1~]}}

Marcus' point is more subtle, though, than that the substitutional
reading validates these inferences or theorems while the objectual
reading does not.  \ic!This would not persuade Quine, for example:
the failure of existential generalization in modal contexts is for
Quine a reason to reject quantified modal logic, rather than give the
existential quantifier a different reading.!

Of course, you may do \def\ic(#1){...}, \def\ic~#1~{...} etc.  The
"delimiter" characters may not appear in the argument, though (nesting
is not supported!).

This is very un-LaTeX-y (it is much lower-level TeX syntax), but it is
occasionaly useful (and heavily used by LaTeX itself, btw - this is
used among others for delimiting optional arguments).

Hth,
