[ROOT] Linking in variables in namespaces

Rooters,

I was trying to link some namespace-defined variables into CINT. I 
seemed to succeed getting namespaced classes in just by specifying the 
fully-qualified name; and in getting functions in by specifying the 
full prototype (ie #pragma link C++ function Namespace::functionname(par
type1, partype2). But I could not get globals to link in. doing just:

#pragma link C++ global Namespace::kGlobalVar;

did not work; rootcint complained about an unknown global variable.

The variable is defined in one of the header files like so:

namespace Namespace {
	extern Double_t kGlobalVar;
}

I'm using ROOT 2.25/02 (CINT 5.14.47). Am I doing something wrong?
