I did try using that instead. The problem is that these strings are used at the 
call-site as format strings (for the logged message), and I run into trouble 
with the `format` attribute on the logging function — I can’t use the 
`__NSString__` style because the parameter isn’t an NSString anymore, but I 
can’t use the `__printf__` style because that doesn’t allow `%@`. :(

It’s not in Clang’s list of attributes, although it is in GCC’s, so I assume 
Clang doesn’t support it.
        http://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html
        https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.5/gcc/Function-Attributes.html
