Summary

0000408: Using -D without a type does not always work

Description

Using -DMY_BOOL_SETTING=1 does not work if MY_BOOL_SETTING's type is not set by a listfile command. In particular the syntax cannot be used to set the value for an OPTION command which is probably the most common and intuitive use for it.

If the option was set with -D then it does not matter whether it shows up in the GUI, so we should have an UNINITIALIZED type that can be used to store the value in the cache when the type is not known.
