While the answers I got were helpful, and thank you all for them, my
curiosity jumped two levels up when I saw the code for
org-latex--inline-image in ox-latex today.  It seems that there are
special provisions for tikz pictures.  However, the code does seem to be
a bit weird: for instance, the tikz code seems to be wrapped in the
tikzpicture environment depending on whether any /options/ are given or
not, which seems an odd choice to me.

Did anyone use the ability to inline tikz pictures (i.e., pictures in
a file with =tikz= or =pgf= extension)?  If so, could you share some
examples, or at least success stories?

Also, org-latex--inline-image seems to provide for including svg images,
but I could not find a \usepackage{svg}, nor a provision for enabling
shell-escape (like in the case of minted).  Again: any success stories
or is there a bug?

TIA,
