I agree with Aaron.  Actually I have written a message about that exact
topic (without a patch, though) already last year -- but that did not
get through, as it seems.

I use inline-tasks extensively (and map them to todonotes in the pdf
export).  And I am always surprised to end up at an inline-task when I
navigate the document.

If I need to find the next inline task I can always search for a lot
of *'s.

That wrapper is handy and works like a charm.  Thanks.

But I'd still argue that the default behaviour should be to skip inline
tasks for all navigation commands in org.
