Nice to hear.

Thanks, see later.

Ok, patch attached.

This is useful for me because I want to easily discard the results to
have the commit with only the changes in the source.  I hope others find
this a reasonable facility.  It is like a 'make clean' for your org
files.

Patch attached.  I am not sure about the default of discarding keyword
Deleting the result line can cause some disorder, but it is the default
in org-babel-remove-result.  Also the naming can be confusing.

This is above my lisp coding abilities, with too many org-related
function to get lost into org-babel-remove-inline-result...  I can wait,
but if you have any pointer I will be happy to do some exploration.

Thanks again,
