Am I missing something, or is the following result surprising to others as
well:

set(somevar YES)
if ("somevar")
    message("Get here if CMP0054 is OLD (seems okay)")
else()
    message("Get here if CMP0054 is NEW (surprising?)")
endif()

I would have thought that even with CMP0054 being NEW, the if condition
would still evaluate to true since it is going to test a non-empty string
that doesn't match any of the defined false constants.
