Ok, thank you.

I'm not questioning the usefulness of the patch. I want to know if
`org-latex--inline-image' is the appropriate function to provide that
feature or if the feature should be provided through another function.

In particular, `org-latex--inline-image' provide options to wrap the
picture in wrapfigure environment, or to set width optional argument for
includegraphics. If it doesn't make sense in this case, the code could
as well be moved into another function, like `org-latex--input-file',
which would handle options specific for \input.
