But then users of global-prettify-symbols-mode don't see the pretty
symbols in org buffers without knowing about and activating
org-pretty-mode. Anyway, the attached patch moves it to org-pretty.el.

I've left it as a defvar since there's no way for us to know about what
people want prettified where. Hopefully the default
prettify-symbols-compose-p function does an OK job, but people will have
to modify that if they customize org-pretty-alist anyway.

Can you see if these tests work for you? They work on my end, but I'm
not sure where to put them. Should they go into a new file
testing/lisp/test-org-pretty.el?

(ert-deftest test-org-pretty-mode ()
  "Test `org-pretty-mode'."
  (should
   (equal t
          (org-test-with-temp-text
              "* Test"
            (org-pretty-mode)
            (org-pretty-compose-p 1 1 "*")
            )))
  (should-not
   (equal t
          (org-test-with-temp-text
              "* Test *"
            (org-pretty-mode)
            (org-pretty-compose-p 8 8 "*")))))
