It's highly confusing -- the code, too. I can only guess that you're
supposed to put your modifications to org-emphasis-regexp-components
in the arguments to `org-set-emph-re'. Like:

(org-set-emph-re
  'org-emphasis-regexp-components
  (setf (nth 4 org-emphasis-regexp-components) 3))

Except if I've setf-ed, I don't need the (set var val) thing at all.
Just calling the function without that sexp, and with no args, would do
the trick.

What am I missing?
