The `insert' method converts the snip's style to a style in the
editor's style list. (This was not properly documented until recently.)

See the `convert' method of style-list<%> for details, but each style
list's basic style has the name "basic", and conversion maps a named
style to a same-named style. So the snip is getting the "Basic" style
of the style list in `editor', which is probably plain.

If I'm on track, then you can avoid the problem by creating a nameless
style for `current-style'. Then it will get converted the way you
expect.
