[cmake-developers] Should compile/link options be user-ordered?

[Stephen Kelly]

Hi, 

I was investigating the fact that target_compile_options accepts a BEFORE 
keyword. The keyword is ignored, by the command implementation, but could be 
used by cmTarget. Should it be? Is the bug in target_compile_options 
accepting the option, or in ignoring it? 

The same question applies to the upcoming target_link_options.

Thanks,

Steve.
