[CMake] Support for higher-level software design methodologies?

Would it be useful if object-oriented software development might become supported by this configuration programming language?

I hope that more common functionality can be extracted into central base functions and classes. This would improve the reuse of standard features and will potentially reduce efforts from repeating solutions in own source code.
