The problem I have is not that I miss being able to see results of the
inline block in the org-mode buffer. The problem is that I don't want
blocks to be evaluated on export (too time consuming in many cases).
So I turn that off, and either evaluate the blocks one at a time (I'm
aware of the dangers of this, not my point here) or call
org-babel-execute-buffer. Everytime I do that I get duplicate output
from inline code. As far as I can see inline code +
org-babel-execute-buffer is incompatible, which is why I gave up on
the former.

Best,
