The header of many CMake modules often looks like this (take
CheckIncludeFile as an example):
MACRO(CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE INCLUDE VARIABLE)
IF(${VARIABLE} MATCHES ^${VARIABLE}$)
... ...
The IF statement really puzzles me a lot. What is it used to do?

Why is IF(${VARIABLE} MATCHES ^${VARIABLE}$) used instead of IF(
${VARIABLE} STREQUAL ${VARIABLE} ) (which would always return true)?
I'm not sure of use case but I'd say it's checking for special
characters in VARIABLE.
