New description:

 In the code review of #15003, @hvr proposed to typeset Big-Os in TeX-style
 instead of using italic (1). This will lead to a more idiomatic
 typesetting.

 See 2 for an example.

 **Task:** Replace all italic Big-Os in libraries/base with TeX-style
 notation.

 Please Note: I'm creating this ticket in trac, because the GitLab
 migration doesn't seem to be finished, yet.
 If this leads to any troubles: Please don't care about this ticket - When
 I see that this ticket isn't migrated, I'll simply re-create it in GitLab.
