((Savannah doesn't seem to like non-ascii characters so it cut my post short ^^;;))

 - Background: A thermodynamics textbook I'm transcribing uses some italicized greek capital letters (e.g. U+1D6E4 Mathematical Italic Capital Gamma). A high school student wanting to insert this glyph would probably look first at the greek character button before thinking to try and use the `Format > Font effects > Slanted` feature. I knew how to insert unicode characters into TeXmacs (e.g. `Ctrl+Q Shift+3 1 D 6 E 4` ) as well as the <slanted> tag but I don't believe a new learner should be expected to know these workaround methods.

- TeXmacs version: 2.1
- Operating system: GNU/Linux Debian 10
- Current state: The "Insert a greek character" button allows insertion of italic small greek letters and capital greek letters (not italic).
- Desired state: Include italic capital greek letters in the "Insert a greek character" menu. See attached screenshot.
- Workaround: Use Format > Font effects > Slanted with Slope `0.25`.
- Background: A thermodynamics textbook I'm transcribing uses some italicized greek capital letters (e.g. U+1D6E4 Mathematical Italic Capital Gamma
