I don't think it's a good idea to have a language feature that is so
tightly coupled to the tool used to build the interpreter. Tools change,
but language features are forever. Also, using the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE for the
value makes it almost impossible to document the return values, since with
CMAKE, many different build types are possible.
