FWIW, I was sort-of hoping it would be. If so, CMakeParseArguments.cmake 
can be left with a simple stub to call the new version.

As a bonus, the new version could itself take named arguments instead of 
positional with a flag whether or not to skip empty (default = keep) 
with the compatibility wrapper instead specifying to skip, and no policy 
would be needed (if you want the new behavior, just use parse_arguments).
