Process the given cmake file as a script written in the CMake
language. No configure or generate step is performed and the cache
is not modified. If variables are defined using ``-D``, this must be
done before the ``-P`` argument.
+Any options after ``--`` are not parsed by CMake, but they are still included
+in the set of :variable:`CMAKE_ARGV<n> <CMAKE_ARGV0>` variables passed to the
+script (including the ``--`` itself).
