Syntax highlighting of traceback context always uses default Pygments style

[li-dan]

We have TerminalInteractiveShell.highlighting_style to pick a Pygments style for normal syntax highlighting, but tracebacks always use the default style:

ipython/IPython/core/ultratb.py

Lines 985 to 988 in 3edbe3b

	if self.has_colors:
	style = get_style_by_name("default")
	style = stack_data.style_with_executing_node(style, self._tb_highlight)
	formatter = Terminal256Formatter(style=style)

Similar to #13756 for mitigating #13446 and #13486, would it be possible to put in a stop-gap to allow the user to change the style?

Closing as the patch has been merged to main.
