+Case sensitive ``<LANG>_COMPILER_ID`` generator expressions
+
+CMake 2.8.12 introduced the ``<LANG>_COMPILER_ID``
+:manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>` to allow
+comparison of the :variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID` with a test value. The
+possible valid values are lowercase, but the comparison with the test value
+was performed case-insensitively.
+
+The OLD behavior for this policy is to perform a case-insensitive comparison
+with the value in the ``<LANG>_COMPILER_ID`` expression. The NEW behavior
+for this policy is to perform a case-sensitive comparison with the value in
+the ``<LANG>_COMPILER_ID`` expression.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.0.0. CMake version
+|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use
+the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly.
