it's worse ... "cmake -L" only produces a alphabetically sorted list
of known -D settings, just listing the names without description.

That's so far behind from what

  ./configure --help

produces.

(And don't get me started on cmake-gui. One day I may even eventually
complete my "autotools-gui" ... https://github.com/hholzgra/autogui )

But at least on most Linux distributions TAB completion now works for
CMake -D options these days ...
