Improvement: add macro the get rid of using stringWithFormat:

[albertschulz]

I'd be really nice if there'd be a call like (as seen at mattts framework https://github.com/mattt/TTTLocalizedPluralString):

NSString *text = SLPluralizedString(@"%d apples", number, @"Comment");

instead of

int number = 42;
NSString *format = SLPluralizedString(@"%d apples", number, @"Comment");
NSString *text = [NSString stringWithFormat:format, number];

@albertschulz, as in the mattt's, a macro could be a simple one like

#define MyPluralizedStringFormat(key, n) \
    [NSString stringWithFormat:SLPluralizedString(key, n, nil), n]

My point why it is not in the library:

• It follows Apple's design of NSLocalizedString, which does no formatting.
• I want developers learn the concepts behind the library, and be conscious of why they are needed to switch from NSLocalizedString in their code, and what are the trade-offs. This is easy with two steps being separate: 1) query resources, 2) format string.
• Apple's implementation of plurals in .stringsdict is again different, and you need to understand that this library is not compatible and in what way.
• It is easy to add a custom macro tailored for your project needs.

@jawalk4u is it related to the question?
