Summary:                    Unexpected behaviour in list when brackets are
involved
Description: 
if semicoli inside are inside brackets [] they are not treated as list
delimiters in a foreach loop

Steps to Reproduce: 
set(lst"1;2;[;3;4;5;];6;7")
foreach(element ${lst})
  message("${element}")
endforeach()

# prints 
# 1
# 2
# [;3;4;5;]
# 6
# 7
# what i expected:
# 1 
# 2
# [
# 3
# 4
# 5
# ]
# 6 
# 7

Additional Information: 
maybe it has somethingto do with variable evaluation inside foreach?  (just a
guess)
