Properties whose maximum value from the link interface will be used.
-The COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MAX property may contain a list of
-properties for this target whose maximum value may be read at generate time
-when evaluated 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 will be compared
-with each other and with the "FOO" property in the depender. When reading
-the FOO property at generate time, the maximum value will be returned.
-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_BOOL`,
-:prop_tgt:`COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_STRING` or
-:prop_tgt:`COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE_NUMBER_MIN` property.
