Just as side note, 'using' directives are not recommended
in shared header files because it causes
pollution of global namespace.
(See "Characteristics of a Good Long-Term Solution" under
http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/053.htm)

If you would like to write less than that, you can put namespace alias
in header where QgsLogger is defined:


namespace log = QgsLogger;
// or even shorter
namespace w = QgsLogger;

Then you will be able to use

log::debug();
or
w::debug();
