> Are there some good examples of why one would use bracket arguments?
I think one of the major use cases for bracket arguments is in "file(WRITE" so you can embed literal python code (or Lua, or javascript, or ...) directly in the argument to the file command and have a section of your CMakeLists that looks like an entirely different language. It's also a look-far-ahead feature for integrating the "CMake language" with a "better" language, say one where arithmetic is more easily expressed, down the line somewhere.
