 The value of this variable should never be modified by project code.
 A toolchain file specified by the :variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`
 variable may initialize ``CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET``.  Once a given
 build tree has been initialized with a particular value for this
 variable, changing the value has undefined behavior.
