That is a very good idea. The preference makes much more sense to me when
the description is changed as you suggest:
Workspace class>>shouldStyle
<preference: 'Smalltalk syntax styling in Workspace'
category: 'browsing'
description: 'If true, new workspaces use Shout to style their contents.'
type: #Boolean>
^ ShouldStyle ifNil: [ false ]
