Review comment:
As far as being opinionated I agree that Debug/RelWithDebInfo/Release
are the most popular choices. C++ developers will also likely be familiar with
those as they come builtin from cmake.
The other three (FastDebug/Profile_Gen/Profile_Build) are for fairly niche
use cases and I'm not sure we really need to list them out here.
