I said it before, this "alternative syntax" has the advantage that it has been 
working in cmake forever, and all developers using cmake know this syntax. 
Calling being able to make typos in variable names a disadvantage seems weird 
to me. This applies to all variables you'll ever use in cmake, everywhere.
