D. Knuth in "The TeXbook" put punctuation outside of emphasized text,
however he mentioned that accordingly to old manuals semicolon should be
typed in the same font as previous word.

I just have never tried to add custom decorations, so it is difficult
for me to express it by a concise phrase. I even do not know if the
following recipe could be recommended

From other messages I had an impression that it is still possible to
create custom markup with new marker but actually it was broken years
ago:

Bug: org-emphasis-alist not fully applied [9.1.1 (9.1.1-1-g80cbf9-elpa @

It makes details of implementation less important.
To my taste fixed order of markers (:type list) is too rigid. If a user
reordered a couple of items then multi-value customization form becomes
single multiline input area. :set function might sort items, but I do
not like such solution.
Since I have not found a way to improve customization interface with
reasonable efforts, I believe that the patch is acceptable. It should be
an improvement, but not an outstanding one.
