You have some good points there.
My consideration were how to do if it not was possible to change fonts
in the hint.

So the suggestion should be like
\begin{wrapfig
\begin{wrapfigure}[<lineheight>]{<alignment>}{<width>}
details of the acceptable datatypes could also be given
\begin{wrapfigure}[<lineheight: integer>]{<alignment: [l, r, L, R, i,
o]>}{<width: length>}
but this can turn out to be confusing quite fast
