Huh?  Given that `gnus-article-emphasis' is an alist, setting it to
nil will naturally remove the whole effect.

That's in the same ballpark with handling *bold* and _underline_, so
if these stay on by default, "forward slash removal" probably should
as well.  Besides, when your Emacs correctly displays italic, it's
usually easy to trace what happened.

It might make sense to turn off the features when rendering articles
on displays without any face support whatsoever (such as under GNU
Emacs on a TTY.)
