FWIW, I don't think anyone is praising CMake's syntax. The problem is
finding a *viable* (and that includes *backwards-compatible*) plan to do
something about it.

If anyone can figure that out, I suspect CMake would be, ah, "highly
receptive" :-).

(I happen to think CMake is *overly* vilified, but I'm not going to
claim it's free of warts, either.)
