I just recently came across this:

set(BLAH blah CACHE INTERNAL "")
unset(BLAH)
message("BLAH: ${BLAH}")

Surprisingly (to me), this prints out "blah".  I had expected the unset
command to make the cached value inaccessible.  The documentation just
states that the function "[r]emoves the specified variable causing it to
become undefined."  Is this a bug?  I would prefer for the function to
guarantee that ${BLAH} comes up empty.
