Yes, I tried this at one time because /.../ is used in linguistics to denote
phonological representations. So I removed the entry for `/` in
`org-emphasis-alist` and replaced it with something else. It worked up until the
point where you start exporting.

If all exporters worked off an internal representation such as what is
returned by `org-element-parse-buffer`, it should be easier to modify the
front-end syntax.
