That would not help in this case, because
`display-supports-face-attributes-p' is returning t, but the user has a
default face that can not be italized.

It would be better to just have a face

(defface help-argument-name '(((t :inherit italic))) "...")

because, presumably, the italic font is different from the default font
("different" in the sense of being distinguishable).

That's nice. The problem here is that RMS didn't want to add options, if
possible. I'd be all for having an option for this, though.
