Hi Rainer,
really cool. I am very short on time right now, so I can't promise I'll
get around to test it soon.

If all (your) documents follow that rule, that blocks producing
graphical output are not needed later on, than it might be cool to have
an [draft]-like option in Org that by default replaces all images (not
just failing ones) with a cheap-to-export graphic. For some of my
documents that is a real time saver.
I can mimic that now by passing a variable 'draft' to the code blocks
and deal with it internally. But that means a lot of manual coding.

Really nice addition! Thanks already (without testing the patch)!
