I expect Babel to provide a parameter to generate verbatim output, and
a way to use this parameter globally. If it doesn't, then we can keep
`org-babel-inline-result-wrap' and simply wrap {{{results(...)}}} macro
around the output.

Babel output is expected to be modified by Babel functions/variables.
I wouldn't want to see macro used as the main tool to modify inline
Babel output.

Of course, you can still do it. But you're on your own.
{{{results(...)}}} is just a wrapper.

Of course, users are free to break their local copy of Org.

See above.
