CMAKE_VS_WINRT_BY_DEFAULT
-------------------------
-Tell :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above that the
-target platform compiles as WinRT by default (compiles with ``/ZW``).
+Inform :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above that the
+target platform enables WinRT compilation by default and it needs to
+be explicitly disabled if ``/ZW`` or :prop_tgt:`VS_WINRT_COMPONENT` is
+omitted (as opposed to enabling it when either of those options is
+present)
+
+This makes cmake configuration consistent in terms of WinRT among
+platforms - if you did not enable the WinRT compilation explicitly, it
+will be disabled (by either not enabling it or explicitly disabling it)
+
+Note: WinRT compilation is always explicitly disabled for C language
+source files, even if it is expliclty enabled for a project
This variable is meant to be set by a
:variable:`toolchain file <CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE>` for such platforms.
