Also look at RunCMake.variable_expansion (on next).

Speaking of corner cases, one evil case I thought up of is not as evil
as it could have been:

    set(0 TRUE)
    if (0)
        message("madness")
    else ()
        message("actually called")
    endif ()

This is however, is slightly evil:

    set(zero 00)
    if (zero)
        message("actually called")
    else ()
        message("well, it was a nice thought")
    endif ()
    if (${zero})
        message("wait a minute...")
    else ()
        message("actually called")
    endif ()

Not sure how if want to handle that with a policy or not.
