Summary0015410: Allow more characters in generator expression for config (dash, dot etc.)
DescriptionCurrently probably [a-zA-Z_] set is allowed.
Other are needed too (dash, dot, hash etc.)

Probably now with cmake in UTF-8, even national chars could be allowed.

Steps To ReproduceUse generator $<CONFIG:Release-Tests>
Results in error "Expression syntax not recognized".

E.g.
target_compile_definitions(tgt PRIVATE $<$<CONFIG:Release-Tests>:${PROJ_TESTS_DEFS}>)

For reference, the current implementation is here:

 http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmGeneratorExpressionEvaluator.cxx;hb=v3.1.3#l726 [^]

and validates with the regex "^[A-Za-z0-9_]*$".
