Sadly the expression is even expanded when it is quoted as long as it is a

set(" Linux" Windows) # succeeds

Alas, the only character that may not appear in a variable name is '\0'. (And even that is more due to use of raw char* with no length than intent, I bet.)

I keep hoping that one of these days CMake would define valid identifiers as '[[:letter:]_][[:alnum:]_-]*'...
