What's the real use of that variable?  I mean, wouldn't it be more simple if
Org's export behavior was just based on the contents of
org-export-latex-emphasis-alist?  Is there verbatim in it, we use verbatim. Is
is texttt in it, we use texttt...

In fact, in which cases do we want to override what's described in the alist?

Best regards,
