[babel] Is ":results output inline" possible ?

[emailorama <emailorama@yahoo.com.au>]

The org-babel package looks very nice.
Thanks to Eric for doing this.
It seems to have so many possibilities.

I wonder, is it possible to get "inline" output ?

It seems to be very close to the existing option
  ":results output"
but would just put the output "inline" rather than in a
quoted block.  (So maybe it would need a closing delimiter,
as in the example below).

This would allow writing a program to generate output
in org-mode syntax.

This effect might also be thought of as a sort of
"multilingual" macro replacement.

Right now I can get this effect by simply removing the
":" characters from the beginning of each line of the
quoted block results.

But it seems like there must be cleaner ways to do it.

If not, could this be considered a feature request ?

An example (demo) is shown below, in the ruby language.
(although the idea is not specific to ruby -
 it would apply to other languages as well)

I'm not sure what the best name such an option would be.
Maybe "inline" or "org".

Thank you for any thoughts about this,
