Instead of using an export snippet, which requires per-backend changes,
you could wrap results in a macro, e.g. {{{results(2)}}}.

Users could customize this macro per-buffer (with the usual #+macro
keyword) to provide their own formatting of inline results.  You
could provide the fallback interpretation in the second call to
‘org-macro-replace-all’ in ‘org-export-as’ (currently responsible
for expanding a few macros like {{{author}}} and {{{date}}}).

What do you think of this idea?
