My draft version is attached. Ihor, thank you for inspiration. Feel free

A patch is attached. I have dropped changes in documentation since I am

Subject: [PATCH] org.el: Warning for unsupported markers in
`org-set-emphasis-alist'
* lisp/org.el (org-emphasis-alist, org-set-emphasis-alist): Change
custom variable type definition and add :set parameter to warn users
that non-standard marker characters are ignored.
Attempts to introduce new markers have been discussed enough times to
add some code that should prevent wasting of time.
Unfortunately there is no way to issue warning for e.g. `setq'.
