Hi Alex,

yesterday I played a bit with the new LIST command in 2.4.1, and here are
some comments:
-the REMOVE and REMOVE_ITEMS sub commands, while obvious, are not
documented in the help
Fixed.
-in the docs the list variable is sometimes called LIST and sometimes
called VAR
They should all be really a list variable. So, you cannot say:
LIST(LENGTH "foo;bar" var)
and expect to get 2.
-why does an access beyond the end of the list fail with a cmake error ?
I would have expected to get an empty or FALSE or NOTFOUND value. This
would make using it easier
Should it fail gracefully? What should be the indicator?
-the LIST command does not work on ARGN. Is this intentional ?
ARGN is special for now because of the way macros are handled. To use it
do this:
SET(myarray ${ARGN})
LIST(.... myarray ...)
-why is LIST( SET ...) not called LIST(APPEND ... ) ?
I added APPEND. I may take LIST(SET out.
-is LIST(SET mySrcs foo.cpp) faster than SET(mySrcs ${mySrcs} foo.cpp) ?
List SET/APPEND appends, while SET justs sets to the value.
But beside the nitpicking, a nice addition to cmake :-)
