Properties which must be compatible with their link interface
-The COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_BOOL property may contain a list of
-propertiesfor this target which must be consistent when evaluated as a
-boolean in the INTERFACE of all linked dependees. For example, if a
-property "FOO" appears in the list, then for each dependee, the
-"INTERFACE_FOO" property content in all of its dependencies must be
-consistent with each other, and with the "FOO" property in the
-depender. Consistency in this sense has the meaning that if the
-property is set, then it must have the same boolean value as all
-others, and if the property is not set, then it is ignored. Note that
-for each dependee, the set of properties from this property must not
-intersect with the set of properties from the
-:prop_tgt:`COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_STRING`,
-:prop_tgt:`COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MIN` or
-:prop_tgt:`COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX` property.
