[CMake] Variable expansion to positional arguments

Hello,

I'm trying to improve some functions by wrapping them. I found the topic asked
several times in different places and time [1][2][3]. This article[4] explain
very well the current situation and issues.

My understanding is, there is _no_ solution to correctly expand variables to
positional arguments with cmake. Which make passing dynamic arguments
unreliable.
Am I correct? Is this a feature or a bug?
