The `#` is a comment whiel the `//` is documentation.
The format of the cache entries themselves is *very* tolerant.
Your line set a variable called "set(CMake_TEST_CONTRACT_PLplot"
to the value "ON)".

I've updated the test. Change the name from _ARGS to _FLAGS:
```
CMake_TEST_CONTRACT_PLplot_CMAKE_FLAGS:STRING=-DBUILD_TEST=ON -DBUILD_DOC=ON
-DBUILD_DOX_DOC=ON
```

I've added an option:
```
CMake_TEST_CONTRACT_PLplot_GIT_TAG:STRING=plplot-5.12.0
```
The value can be anything that `git checkout` understands
(tag, branch, commit sha1, etc.).
