This has been discussed before.  It will take some refactoring
of the CMake language command processing implementation to
tell commands, like if(), about the delimiters used for each
argument: unquoted, quoted, or bracket arguments.  Then the
if() command would be able to avoid auto-dereference when
the argument type is not unquoted.

However, this is off-topic for the EVIS parsing change.  I
encourage everyone to look at the proposed changes carefully
because we are basically changing the language with a policy.
