I think that that is the same case as COMPILE_FLAGS property: it just
adds its contents to whatever CMAKE_*_FLAGS* has.

I'm afraid of compiler errors & warnings of the sort of "option -foo is
incompatible with option -bar"

So as it seems that there is no way of replacing the compiler flags at
the target level, is it an omission worth a bug report or is it
something that was decided?
