variable-assignment

I know this is possible in other programming languages. Suppose we have the following arrangement:

- (void) myMethod:(NSString*)variables, ... {
    // Handle business here.
}

- (void) anotherMethod:(NSString*)variables, ... {
    // We want to pass these variable arguments for handling
    [self myMethod:variables, ...]; // Do not pass GO
}

// Start the party:
[self anotherMethod:@"arg1", @"arg2", @"arg3", @"arg4", nil];

What's the trick to get this working in ObjC?
