[Cuis-dev] Improvement: Italic abstract classes and methods in Browser

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

BTW, there’s some inconsistency in the Browser that shows up when deleting
a class while a message category is selected. Browser>>messageList ends uo
sending compiledMethodAt: to nil (selectedClass is nil, but
unstyledMessageList still answers the messages of the deleted class).
