[cmake-developers] foreach(IN LISTS) or not

I'm wondering if it makes sense to do a mass replace of

foreach(listvar ${somevar})

to

foreach(listvar IN LISTS somevar)

>From what I see this should be more efficient as the variable is not first 
expanded and then parsed again, it could save from potential trouble if e.g. 
somevar includes elements with spaces, and it should not introduce any further 
hassle.

Opinions?
