Reaper API needs prefix/namespace to avoid conflicts

Some reaper api functions (ie SetThemeColor) are too generically named and pose an easy potential for naming conflicts with other imports/includes.

Please add a Reaper_ prefix or a Reaper:: namespace.

TY!

You could easily add a namespace around the #include "reaper_plugin_functions.h" no?

We can add some preprocessor help to make it easier. In the next release you'll be able to do:

Code:

#define REAPERAPI_FUNCNAME(x) REAPER_##x
#include "reaper_plugin_function.h"

REAPER_SetThemeColor(...)
