TypeError for undefined `abstractmethod` does not highlight the undefined method name
Feature or enhancement
Currently, on instantiating a type with an undefined abstract property named "name" we get the following error message:
TypeError: Can't instantiate abstract class IndexNode with abstract method name
The name could be confused as a part of the sentence itself. It must be highlighted, most likely by surrounding the method names with single-quotes
Pitch
Could be implemented via a nondisruptive patch that would edit just the error message in Objects/typeobject.c
