Yes. I refactored my topic to use the same logic/code as is used there. 

That involved removing the EXPORT_NAMESPACE generator and adding a new 
$<TARGET> generator which is a preprocessor-marker accepting only literals 
for pointing out target names. Those target names only need to be extracted 
at export time.

I think the name $<TARGET> is suitable, but I don't mind changing it.

Thanks,

Steve.
