Summary:                    Function name with a single letter doesn't work
Description: 
Given the following cmake code:


function(x)
  message("hi")
endfunction()

x()

CMake will produce this error:

Parse error.  Expected a command name, got unquoted argument with text "x".

If you change the function to have more than one character, then it works
properly:

function(xx)
  message("hi")
endfunction()

xx()

Additional Information: 
Seems to affect version 2.8.10.1, but I haven't tried other versions.
