I cannot think of any bad consequence if we tailor "border" in
`org-emphasis-regexp-components' to allow everything but white spaces.

I don't think LaTeX-like syntax is good. It doesn't belong to
lightweight markup. Besides, Org already supports LaTeX macros so it
would probably be ambiguous.

I suggest to keep as close as possible to the existing markup.
