Ability to set global properties in configure presets?

Has this ever been discussed before? Is there a reason it’s not supported?

The use case would be setting properties that don’t have a variable to initialize them, such as USE_FOLDERS

Presets are meant to be a layer over what can be achieved by spelling out command-line options. In general we don’t have functionality that can only be achieved via presets.

In this case, one could add support for a CMAKE_USE_FOLDERS cache entry, which could then be enabled by presets.
