Summary0013111: allow the option() command to use other binary values than ON/OFF
DescriptionHi.

Currently the option command allows only ON and OFF and the CMake UIs then switch between those two.

Please allow the other boolean literals (e.g. TRUE/FALSE, 0/1, YES/NO to be specified.
If they are used, the UIs should obviously also switch between them and not ON/OFF.

The rationale is that for some options(names) e.g. YES/NO fits much better.
Consider you have LIBFOO_ENABLED.... you wouln't say ON/OFF but rather YES/NO or TRUE/FALSE.


Cheers,
Chris.

Issues 0013083, 0013089, 0013090, 0013091, 0013092, 0013109, and 0013111 are all interesting suggestions but the issue tracker is not a good place to discuss them. The user list is a better place for discussion because it may attract interest from others, and in particular from potential contributors. Others may also suggest alternative solutions.
