In AutoLayout can you combine both horizontal and vertical constraints using the Visual Format Language?

Question

In our code in a lot of places, I keep seeing this...

containerView.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "H:|-0-[view]-0-|", options: NSLayoutFormatOptions(rawValue: 0), metrics: nil, views: ["view":childView]))
containerView.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:|-0-[view]-0-|", options: NSLayoutFormatOptions(rawValue: 0), metrics: nil, views: ["view":childView]))

It just seems redundant to me. I'm wondering if there's a way to combine the formats into a single string; something like this...

containerView.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "H:|-0-[view]-0-|;V:|-0-[view]-0-|", options: NSLayoutFormatOptions(rawValue: 0), metrics: nil, views: ["view":childView]))

So is something like this possible?

For sorry you can't use this , but you can try something like this

let rr = UIView()

rr.backgroundColor = UIColor.red

self.view.addSubview(rr)

rr.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

["H:|-100-[rr]-100-|","V:|-100-[rr]-100-|"].forEach{NSLayoutConstraint.activate(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: $0, options: NSLayoutFormatOptions.init(rawValue: 0), metrics: nil, views: ["rr":rr]))}
