[CMake] find_package components required or not

Hello,
 
The find_package macro provides the keywords "REQUIRED" and "COMPONENTS". 



The docs state: "The REQUIRED option stops processing with an error message if the package cannot be found. A package-specific list of components may be listed after the REQUIRED option or after the COMPONENTS option if no REQUIRED option is given."



When using find_package and the "REQUIRED" keyword, are all components required?


When using find_package and the "COMPONENTS" keywords, are all components required?



It would be nice if the docs could state this information. 
 
regards,
Lars
