I think :wrap is useful.  It provides a very direct way to generate code
that can be exported to an arbitrary LaTeX environment.  Say I find a new
LaTeX package that defines a =cutemarkup= environment, so I want
something like this the LaTeX file:

\begin{cutemarkup}
...
\end{cutemarkup}

Then, with babel:

#+begin_src lang :wrap cutemarkup
...
#+end_src

gets me what I want,

#+begin_cutemarkup
...
#+end_cutemarkup

IIRC, this is one reason why :wrap is there (thanks, Eric).

Perhaps this result is possible some other way? I don't know, but it
seems to me that :wrap is still potentially useful and we might want to
keep it around.
