That also means I can't protect my code from things like:

    set(evil "" STREQUAL bogus OR TRUE OR "")
    if (PREFIX_${evil}_SUFFIX)
        message("Evil prevails")
    endif ()

by quoting the 'evil' expansion (these corner cases pop into my head
whenever I'm reading or thinking about quoting rules and such...I blame
writing a lot of shell code and being paranoid about things being safe).
