namespace breaks macros?

[Claudius Coenen]

Describe the bug
When inside a namespace, I can't use the debugI, debugV ... shorthands.

Code Example

This prints out the same thing, once via tha long form and once with the debugI macro.

namespace Example {
	void test(const char * prefix) {
		#ifndef DEBUG_DISABLED
		if (Debug.isActive(Debug.INFO)) {
			Debug.printf(prefix, "hi");
		}
		#endif
		debugI(prefix, "hi");
	}
};

Now call Example::testWorks("this says %s");.

Expected behavior
Both ways of printing a debug line should work.

Current behaviour

Here's the compiler output:

some-file: In function 'void Example::test(const char*)':
some-file:29:10: error: expected ')' before 'prefix'
   debugI(prefix, "hi");
          ^

src/RemoteDebug.h:146:84: note: in definition of macro 'rdebugI'
   #define rdebugI(fmt, ...) if (Debug.isActive(Debug.INFO))   Debug.printf("(%s) " fmt, __func__, ##__VA_ARGS__)
                                                                                    ^

src/RemoteDebug.h:195:26: note: in expansion of macro 'rdebugIln'
 #define debugI(fmt, ...) rdebugIln(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
                          ^

some-file:29:3: note: in expansion of macro 'debugI'
   debugI(prefix, "hi");
   ^

Hi, In your code I saw that if.. Debug.printf appears compile, try use this instead debugI macro

Yes. the long form does work. It is what i'm using in the meantime. Is there any possibility to get the shorthands working? I am not too familiar with the way macros are expanded, so I'm not sure if this is possible at all.
