Using it in the translated string already works (see test cases).

I assume you want it to be part of the key? Like:

    DHLocalizedString("first: \("a"), second: \("b")")

Localizable.strings:

    "first: %1$@, second: %2$@" = "vor %2$@ kommt %1$@";

Then one would have to change 
<https://github.com/dhoepfl/DHLocalizedString/blob/master/DHLocalizedString/DHLocalizedString.swift#L68>.

Could be done but I'm not sure if I'd like to have to include the 
position in the key, even if there is only one argument. Could be an 
exception, of course.
