Yes.  I hadn't actually intended for you to go straight to
implementation with that idea.  I only intended it as a
possibility for discussion.  Your concern also makes me
realize that find_package has always had the package
name first.  There are many other ways to imply CONFIG
mode by using some of the full signature arguments.  I
think the original

  find_package(Foo CONFIG)

ordering is better in light of these concerns.

Thanks,
