Upon looking closer, `org-set-emph-re' is not affected by the value of
`org-emphasis-alist' with a single exception when the value is nil.

I now reviewed the usage of `org-emphasis-alist' and setting/changing
the value has the following effects:

1. nil (and only nil) value makes `org-emph-re' and `org-verbatim-re'
   nil. Otherwise, these regexps are not affected.

   Also, `org-emph-re' only affects fontification.
   `org-verbarim-re' affects fontification and
   `org-in-verbatim-emphasis'. The latter should be fixed to use
   org-element API.

2. The value affects `org-mode-transpose-word-syntax-table'. Should be
   fixed - parser is not affected by `org-emphasis-alist'.

3. Fontification is affected in `org-do-emphasis-faces'.

4. Emphasis selection dialogue in `org-emphasize' is only using the
   emphasis from the alist.

That's all.

I think that we should simply obsolete `org-emphasis-alist' and
introduce individual faces for emphasis.
