:command:`if` recognizes numbers and boolean constants.

In CMake versions 2.6.4 and lower the :command:`if` command implicitly
dereferenced arguments corresponding to variables, even those named
like numbers or boolean constants, except for ``0`` and ``1``.  Numbers and
boolean constants such as ``true``, ``false``, ``yes``, ``no``, ``on``,
``off``, ``y``, ``n``, ``notfound``, ``ignore`` (all case insensitive)
were recognized in some cases but not all.  For example, the code ``if(TRUE)``
might have evaluated as ``false``.
Numbers such as 2 were recognized only in boolean expressions
like ``if(NOT 2)`` (leading to ``false``) but not as a single-argument like
``if(2)`` (also leading to ``false``).  Later versions of CMake prefer to
treat numbers and boolean constants literally, so they should not be
used as variable names.

The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to implicitly dereference
variables named like numbers and boolean constants.  The ``NEW`` behavior
for this policy is to recognize numbers and boolean constants without
dereferencing variables with such names.

This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.8.0.  CMake version
|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior.  Use
the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
