Apple bug reporter number : 23622446
Summary:
in Xcode Version 7.0.1 (7A1001) am seeing that in NSString localization, the compiler does not give a warning if incorrect number of arguments are provided. This will lead to bugs. Is there a way around this?

    [NSString localizedStringWithFormat: NSLocalizedString(@"%@ %@", @"two strings"), @"name"]; //This gives no compiler warning
  
    [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", @"name"];  //this gives a warning saying 'More '%' conversions than data arguments'. This is desirable

[NSString stringWithFormat:NSLocalizedString(@"%@ %@", @"two strings"), @"name"];  //This gives no compiler warning

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a new single app project
2. in the view controller, paste the three lines of code as in description
3. run the project 


Expected Results:
the compiler should warn about data arguments not being the same in number as the formats in case of localized strings also


Actual Results:
the app will exception on those lines
