This is, actually, a much better idea, so let's not go there
and make the item bullets configurable.  It is possible that
too much confusion will arrise from it.

It is also, in my opinion, quite visible!  If you want to make
it still more visible, you can try something like

(font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode
'(("^\\([ \t]*[-*+]\\|^\\*+\\)[ \t]+→.*"
    0 font-lock-warning-face prepend)))
