Summary:                    if() behavior is different with macro parameters
Description: 

The if(<variable>) signature always evaluates to false if <variable> is a macro
parameter:

https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,30630

This is not currently documented. 

function() parameters already behave consistently with variables set with set().


This should be either documented or changed to match the behavior with regular
variables.
