Summary:                    Cmake parser rejects empty items list in
target_include_directories
Description: 
I wonder if cmake should be able to parse the following project file:

  cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.11)
  project(Foo)

  add_library(mylib STATIC mylib.c)

  #set(a "a")

  target_include_directories(mylib PUBLIC ${a})


The help text for target_include_directories shows the following syntax:

  target_include_directories(<target> [BEFORE
      <INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items1...]
     [<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items2...] ...])

So I would consider the item list in the [] brackets as optional.
