I worked hard to achieve the separation you're referring to.  It doesn't 
work to have a smooth transition across Boo-st-d because it makes the 
"d" look like part of "Boostd".  The "std::" is meant to be very subtle; 
It emerges as a continuation of the shadow behind "Booost".  To 
demarcate the beginning of "std::", it becomes italicized there.
