NSStringLiterals.m
// Currently, there's too much effort for printing strings with arguments.
// The current way
NSString *sentence = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"This is a text with argument %@", argument];
// Possible literal
NSString *sentence = @("This is a text with argument %@", argument);

Have you tried to ask Apple for this new feature? :)

@umairsd correct, that's the original proposal :)

@dilejmon, I haven't; wanted to see what others are saying. I don't know either what's the best place to ask this question :)
In the meantime, @neilco has built a macro _(@"text: %@", argument) , but I find it a bit confusing for newcomers.

We ended up with NSStringWithFormat(@"text: %@", argument) , you can find it in ObjectiveSugar
