I find it scary, annoying, and difficult to learn.  If CMake is going to only
behave properly when an argument is given in uppercase, it should
abort if the argument is given in lowercase.  Throw the users a bone!
There is *no excuse* for forcing users to guess.

I thought there was a bug opened for this, but I couldn't find it in a
quick search.
