I've had a quick look at the code in Muse for this.  Inline images are a
good feature if we have something like `org-toggle-inline-images'.

Definitely not that hard.  

For now there is this rule applying to the HTML export: if an image link
has no description, or if the description and the link are equal, inline
the image in the HTML output: 

  [[file:/home/me/me.jpg]] => <img src="[img URL]">

If there is some informative description 
then don't inline the image, juste link to it.

  [[file:/home/me/me.jpg][Me!]] => <a href="[img URL]">Me!</a>

Would this rule be okay for inlining images in the buffer as well?
