[texhax] Interaction between \iffodd and wrapfig

[David Carlisle]

wrapfig can't possibly work if you put it in an \mbox, It can't work if you
put it in a _group_ never mind a box as it needs to set the paragraph shape
of the following paragraph.

The comments in the file say:


  - If you put a wrapfigure in a parbox or a minipage, or any other type
    of grouping, the text wrapping should end before the group does.
