Message / Comment that will be written in the
result file. The replacement assumes a file with C syntax. If your
generated file is source code in some other language, you probably
don't want to add a description field because it most likely will
cause a syntax error.
- name: set10
returns: void

Is the same as [[cfg_data.set]] but the value
is either `true` or `false` and will be written as 1 or 0,
respectively

The value to set as either `1` or `0`
Passing numbers was never intended to work, and since 0.62 it has been
deprecated. It will be removed in a future version of Meson. If you
need to pass numbers use the `.set` method.
warnings:
- numeric values < 0 have the surprising behavior of being converted to
`true`, values > 1 have the more expected but unintentional behavior of
being interpreted as `true`.
