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

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

I was just trying to reproduce it in order to try and fix it, but now I
can't get it to trigger. I'll try and fix it next time I see it.
If you make a new version, remember to add at the end of the change set:
    PreferenceSet installDefault: #(italicAbstractClassesAndMethods true)
in: #programming
Or, anyone who wants to test it, run that line in a workspace, otherwise
the browser wont work. You could also reinitialize the preferences, but
that will override your current preferences.
