OK, I was looking at
http://orgmode.org/manual/Exporting-code-blocks.html instead.

This is quite restrictive, since it implies that I want to export to
HTML. What I really want is to insert a raw string, with no further
processing into the export, whatever format the export may have.

I think it's better to have people use !(foo) than to be turned away by
src_emacs-lisp[:results html]{(foo)} and use nothing at all.  Besides,
Elisp is a very strong library for Org. We could also have e.g.

    #+INLINE_LANG Elisp

to set the language for !() in the current document.

I could provide a patch for `org-edit-src-code' to work with !().  I'm
not interested in using the current inline syntax.  I'll implement the
!(progn (foo) (bar)) style for my config anyway, then it's up to you
whether you'll want to merge it or not.
