I'd like to be able to create a function like:
class A {
  private String extraVar;
  public String myFormat(String format, Object ... args){
    return String.format(format, extraVar, args);
  }
}
The problem here is that args is treated as Object[] in the method myFormat, and thus is a single argument to String.format, while I'd like every single Object in args to be passed as a new argument. Since String.format is also a method with variable arguments, this should be possible.
If this is not possible, is there a method like String.format(String format, Object[] args)? In that case I could prepend extraVar to args using a new array and pass it to that method.
