I have been using inline results for reports quite a bit, but not
lately.  I might be wrong here, but from my memory they used to work
(i.e. were replaceable) for a while (at least when 'wrapped') unless
they were set to produce 'raw' results (which was a serious limitation
and led me to change my workflow).

Nonetheless, from a literate programming perspective, I think that
replaceable (and raw) inline results are definitely desirable.
Regardless of the state of their implementation in orgmode right now.

So, I do not doubt, that you and Nicolas are right with that replaceable
inline results are not implemented and are -- from orgmodes perspective
-- expected to be evaluated only during export.

My message was meant more as a feature request saying that I consider
replaceable inline results useful and would like to see them supported
by org.

Regards,
Andreas

PS:
a quick check reveals that they are indeed not replaceable (even
when wrapped)
