It just means we're taking one step at a time.  I doubt full Lua
integration can be in CMake 3.0 but this syntax change is a necessary
prerequisite for clean introduction of any other language embedded
inside CMake command invocations.  It will allow such code to appear
literally in .cmake sources without a layer of CMake language escape
sequences on top of it.  This will be useful on its own anyway.
