No it doesn't.  CMake doesn't accept sub-parentheses in conditionals.
I found this out when automatically translating a pile of parentheses
from Autoconf.  Aside from being convenient to programmers, it would
make migrations from Autoconf easier.  I had to write a substantial
body of code to do it.  If the feature were present, translation would
be much more 1:1 and easier to implement.
