Thanks to PR #3483, set_variable can be used to assign array values.
However, the fact that it cannot be used for arrays before 0.46.1 needs
a mention in the documentation, since otherwise users can get unexpected
dependencies on later meson versions.
The use of ABC classes (like MutableSet) is deprecated currently, in
python 3.8 the aliases in collections will be dropped and only the ones
in collections.abc will remain. collections.abc has existed since python
3.3, so there is no backwards compatibility risk.
The "if" statement only covers a small set of the possible ways in
which conditionals can be written, since it leaves the use of
"and", "or" and "not" to the "Logical Operations" section. However,
this is likely to be of interest to those reading about "if" statments,
so move the "logical operations" section up to immediately follow it.
This change also puts in the use of the "!=" operator in the example
to widen the variety of combinations shown.
-It tests both Qt4 and Qt5 detection -> qtdependency_pkgconfig_detection
-It doesn't need to skip test if Qt4 isn't found and if Qt5 isn't, the
meson.build file already skips the test.
-The regex was outdated and since skipped because of Qt4 it is silently
broken for a long time.

gtkdoc-scangobj also accepts compiler arguments. In the same way
that include_directories includes directories, the new c_args
parameter also appends compiler arguments.
One of the gtkdoc's steps calls to gtkdoc-scangobj that also accepts
compiler arguments by using the cflags option.
Compiler arguments from dependencies are also appended now.
Almost every keyword documented here takes this form:
- `foo` bar
with no comma after the keyword. Make `filebase` consistent, and fix a
comma splice.
Fix 'Arbitraty' typo in `libraries` documentation.
D compilers are configured to have highest priority when chosing linker
for targets mixing C/C++/D code and before this change meson would fail
to configure gtest target that uses D library as a dependency.
As it currently stands, if for whatever reason you have two files you
want to merge with the same output name, it will fail due to multiple
targets with the same name due to the target name being autogenerated
from the output kwarg.

* Enums are strongly typed and make the whole
`gcc_type`/`clang_type`/`icc_type` distinction
redundant.
* Enums also allow extending via member functions,
which makes the code more generalisable.
