PreconditionsTooManyArgs complains about legitimate additional arguments to assertion #259

The PreconditionsTooManyArgs is overzealous.

The check assumes that the number of slots in the format string must exactly match the number of arguments. However, the check methods actually support more arguments than slots. Snippet of javadoc:

If there are more arguments than placeholders, the unmatched arguments will
be appended to the end of the formatted message in square braces.

This is a dupe of an internal bug. We ended up changing the docs for Preconditions to discourage this. The intent was never for you to rely on that behavior. We'll send you the internal bug number so you can see the discussion.

Status: WontFix
