Ideally, the color theme should make things that aren't obvious from the local syntax stand out. When editing Rust code, it's not clear from syntax when a variable is a reference, especially when using type interference or chained iterators.
I suggest that rather than have property accesses be in italic, have references be in italic.
I have no trouble telling syntax when I'm accessing a property (there's a dot!), but I don't always know if something is a reference until the compiler yells because I didn't use a reference like a reference (or vice versa).
I have found adding these to my editor.sematicTokenColorCustomizations in settings helps me out a ton when editing Rust code because it makes it obvious whether something is a reference or not: variables that are references are italics, and methods that take a reference to self (&self or &mut self) are also italicized.
