A better name may be "INTERFACE_COMPATIBLE_BOOL" since the compatibility requirement is actually part of the interface. Actually, since you made generator expressions use lazy evaluation, can't we introduce a $<FATAL_ERROR:msg> expression that could be used inside some condition checker to report failure? > implement support in CMake for.

Yes, this sounds promising for solving problems like that.
