Summary0013092: change set() behaviour when value is inset, to define the variable as true
DescriptionHi.

To me it seems a bit inconsistent that:
set(FOO)
unsets FOO.

Given that you interpret a unset variable as false and given that unset() is the opposite of set(), it would IMHO make more sense to set FOO to true.
This would also be more consistent with C/C++ preprocessor's understanding of true/false.

And after all, that a command called "set" unsets is a bit awkward.


Of course this will break things, but given your nice policy mechanism this shouldn't really harm.

Cheers,
Chris.

 Issues 0013083, 0013089, 0013090, 0013091, 0013092, 0013109, and 0013111 are all interesting suggestions but the issue tracker is not a good place to discuss them. The user list is a better place for discussion because it may attract interest from others, and in particular from potential contributors. Others may also suggest alternative solutions.
