Summary0014584: set() accepts invalid curly brace syntax
Descriptiontest.cmake contains:

set(myvalue "hello")
set(ENV{MYVALUE "${myvalue}")

Then I run it:
cmake -P test.cmake

and it doesn't say anything about the missing closing brace around MYVALUE.

It looks like for the ENV{} syntax CMake blindly strips the last character assuming it is "}":

$ cat env.cmake
set(myvalue "hello")
set(ENV{MYVALUE "${myvalue}")
message("ENV{MYVALU}=[$ENV{MYVALU}]")

$ cmake -P env.cmake
ENV{MYVALU}=[hello]
