Hi,
I have a customer that requires quite often to check, whether a list contains 
at least a given number of elements. As we do not have functions with return 
values, this requires him to inquire the length of a list before taking special 
actions.

To simplify that task (and without larger changes in CMake [like introducing 
*real* functions]), he came up with the idea to extend the if()-command with a 
LENGTH operator:

set(list)

…

if (LENGTH list GREATER 1)
…
endif()

Would such an extension be accepted as pull request, if we would provide it?

regards,

Torsten
