I downvoted this a year ago because it's not a very good answer. To cope with concatenating a large number of strings, Palimondo's implementation requires either implementing a large number of very similar looking methods, or calling the methods several times, resulting in a large chunk of code that essentially just concatenates strings. Using this approach, you don't get any benefit over a simple stringWithFormat:. Not to mention the lack of named parameters which is not only non-standard but also confusing.

The original asker mentioned stringByAppendingString, and he never said anything about using more than two arguments. I like this answer better than the accepted one. It's pretty clever.
