Currently it is expected, but I don't think anyone has thoroughly
investigated it or tried to implement it.  IIRC it works in Makefile
generators only because the make tool does it under the hood when
one uses $(MAKE) in a makefile to run another make.  It is a feature
of the build tool itself, not of CMake.  Unless Ninja offers some
equivalent it may not be possible.
