Hi all, Motivated by my own struggles with targets of type INTERFACE and a recent post on this list, I was wondering what is the rationale behind allowing only a whitelisted set of properties on targets of this type. I understand that one of the use cases for INTERFACE libraries is to have a way to work with header-only libraries in a more or less standard way. Yes, the current implementation is far from optimal on more than one aspect, but I never understood the reason for the whitelisting (also google didn't make me any wiser). What am I missing? Wouldn't INTERFACE targets be easier to use without these restrictions (or alternatively by switching to blacklisting of some properties to protect a user from having wrong expectations)?
