That should be fine. > It is a bit complicated, but I added some documentation...

When set() sets a CACHE entry it erases the normal variable from the current scope to expose the value of the cache entry. However, the set_property method of setting the cache value does not do this so the normal one should persist as desired. I did some manual testing and it seems to work as expected. This topic looks good to me. Please merge to 'next' for testing.
