A common use case of `target_compile_features` is simply to specify that
the compiler should be run in a mode that is aware of e.g. C++11. Some
projects simply specify a particular C++11-only feature to request this.
Provide a first-class way to do this by naming features after the
corresponding language standard. Record them as always available in the
corresponding standard level so that requesting them always ensures that
standard (or higher) is used.
Add a ``FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB32_PATHS`` global property analogous to the
``FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS`` property. This helps find commands on
multilib systems that use ``lib32`` directories and either do not have
``lib`` symlinks or point ``lib`` to ``lib64``.
Add a TARGET_MESSAGES property to control whether Makefile targets print
the "Built target " completion messages. Default to ON to preserve
existing behavior.
Extend sentences in other documentation linking to this manual to
say that it has a list of supported compilers.

Link to it from the documentation of related properties, variables
and commands.
Extend the cmake-developer(7) documentation with notes on
extending feature support for compilers.
Add properties and variables corresponding to CXX equivalents.
Add features for c_function_prototypes (C90), c_restrict (C99),
c_variadic_macros (C99) and c_static_assert (C11). This feature
set can be extended later.
Add a <PREFIX>_RESTRICT symbol define to WriteCompilerDetectionHeader
to conditionally represent the c_restrict feature.
