I also thought, glancing at this whole discussion, that inlinetasks were
kind of what everyone was talking about: something that is stuck in the
middle of everything else, that doesn't semantically affect its
surroundings, that can be exported or not. I do think minipages and
margipars are quite semantically distinct, though.

Anyway, inlinetasks have always struck me as a gross hack (how many
stars, again?), and I wasn't actually prepared to code anything myself,
so I thought I'd restrain myself...
