Hi,

i just catched up reading the org list, and I think I can contribute to
this:

The LaTeX Command \providecommand behaves exactly like \newcommand iff
the command does not already exist, so one (untested) solution would be

\providecommand{\alert}[1]{\emph{#1}}

I think this would be the cleanest way, but keep in mind that the
special <> beamer parameters are not supported by standard latex
command creation commands.

Yours
