[swift-users] Localization in Swift.

[Zhao Xin]

I am not talking to eliminate "%" style function. I am talking to add more
compatibility to `NSLocalizedString` with `\(foo)` style. As there is no
rule forbidding that, it should work. If someone doesn't need the flexible
parts, why he has to use the complicated way?
