Shortcuts in Objective-C to concatenate NSStrings

Question

Are there any shortcuts to (stringByAppendingString:) string concatenation in Objective-C, or shortcuts for working with NSString in general?

Answer 1

Shortcut by creating AppendString (AS) macro ...

#define AS(A,B)    [(A) stringByAppendingString:(B)]

NSString *myString = @"This";

NSString *test = AS(myString,@" is just a test");

Note:

If using a macro, of course just do it with variadic arguments, see EthanB's answer.
